I seem to remember replying to this on one of the SIS lists, but I maybe mistaken on that.
Usually the "Illegal Instruction" error means that the architecture of the image doesn't match the node that is being installed. OSCAR assumes that the server and nodes are reasonably similar in architecture, and so it doesn't present the architecture option when building an image. You can use the mksiimage command directly to build an image of the appropriate architecture and see if that works.
