Hello, I was able to install a -virtual kernel, however it's not showing up as a boot option. This is what I have on a 14.04.1 build after enabling trusty-proposed branch in sources.list. The OS is still booting with the -generic kernel and there is no -virtual kernel in grub after installing the package.
