Have you tried booting your Linode with GRUB (legacy) and not GRUB2? In Cloud Manager, under your Linode, click the Configurations tab, then click Edit, scroll to Boot Settings, then select GRUB under Select a Kernel.
Please know that both of these versions are technically unsupported on Linode. At the time of writing this, you can choose Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 4.0.2 as the oldest distro and kernel options respectively for new Linodes.
Hello, thanks for your reply.
I want to install ubuntu with a 32bits kernel. Can you help me to install it? If in this case, I can use a higher version of ubuntu. But, when I select ubuntu 16, I found that it can't support 32bits.

I have tried the grub-legacy. It always can't directly enter the kernel, stopping in the grub terminal.
