Urgh. I don't have a linux box handy to give you the specifics, but 
there's a kernel config setting for that CPU type.

The easiest thing to do is pull the drive, put it in another box to 
install, check the right CPU type in the config, build your kernel, and 
put the drive back in your tinypc.

Yes, it sucks. The alternative is to custom build an install cd that 
boots that appropriate kernel, then installs with it.

I wish you success.
