I think that he may have had installed the 386 kernel image already, but was missing the kernel modules.. This could have happened e.g. when installing virtualbox-ose (because it pulled in the 386 kernel image, but not the modules; see https://launchpad.net/bugs/188579). In that case, it would be better to remove the 386 kernel image and use the generic one again. Anyway, linux-generic is better on most machines than linux-386. You can check which kernel image you're using with "uname -r".
