The virtual kernel image is actually the same as the server kernel
image.  The only difference between the two packages is the selection of
modules. The set of modules in the virtual kernel package is a strict
subset of those in the server kernel package.  Put another way, there's
no reason you couldn't just use the -server kernel instead of the
-virtual one. Anything you'll find in the -virtual kernel package you
will also find in the -server kernel package, and then some.
