The installer uses the most generic x86 kernel available in Debian, which
is suitable even for Intel 486 processors. So if your system fails during
installation with illegal instructions, that indicates a kernel problem,
not an installer problem.
Please file a bug report against the linux-2.6 source package so the kernel
maintainers can look into and properly track this problem.
You should include the contents of /proc/cpuinfo in the report.
I have no idea if they can/want to solve this, or if they'll decide to
leave the processor as unsupported for Debian.
Cheers,
