As far as I know, being new to Ubuntu and Debian, but running other 
distros, when you are booted to a specific kernel, you're only using the 
drivers/modules associated with that kernel.  As long as you're booting 
to a 686 kernel, you will not use the 386 code.  Whether you leave it or 
remove it should not matter.

If you leave it, your GRUB list gets longer, take it out and you have a 
tidy list.
