This is: [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.15.0-33-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-038) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 13:44:35 UTC 2018 (Ubuntu 4.15.0-33.36-generic 4.15.18)

Switching to a 64-bit kernel allows boot to proceed.

I cannot include output of the commands you request (uname, version_signature, dmesg, lspci) because the guest doesn't boot. The above kernel output is from a just-installed clean guest however.
