The desktop kernel needs AFAIR PAE support, I'm not sure your CPU has it - that might be the reason for the installation of the default one.
Just checked the cpu I have (AMD Athlon XP 3200+) and it definitely has pae:
fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up
So does my ancient Celeron A's clocked at 300 Mhz. Support of the 3rd layer of address tables (64GiB address space), isn't really of any use for deciding which kernel to install. Oddly with 11.1, I had to change manually to use default kernel rather than the big fat memory one, on a P4 Celeron lap top with only 240 MB RAM available to the system.
