No. The problem is that you are trying to boot a 32-bit filesystem on
a 64-bit UML, and UML doesn't have 32-bit compatibility. You need to
either get a 64-bit filesystem, or run a 32-bit UML. If you try the
32-bit UML and it crashes and you have a not-too-recent host kernel,
it may need upgrading, as there were some 32-bit compatibility bugs
fixed a while ago.
