System appears not to be able to run the linux kernel

Even though I have configured the environment variables, I get this error. Where is it coming from? I don't really understand what it means.

I believe it is because you don't have i386 libs needed by the UML kernel. For instance, please see here for ubuntu 16.04 support for i386: https://blog.teststation.org/ubuntu/2016/05/12/installing-32-bit-software-on-ubuntu-16.04/

@kartoch Thanks, you're a life saver! I'd tried changing directory and partition permissions and I just couldn't fix it.
