I'm 99.9% certain that's not the issue. 32-bit OSes will happily run
on 64-bit hardware without issue.

It's likely the problem is related to the fact that this server rev is
so old, and the installer/upgrade script is unable to locate the
package versions it needs in the default location on ubuntu's
repositories.

You may need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to the
archive repositories. This blog post outlines what need to happen:
