bug#65417: i686-linux installation medium on Pentium II fails on boot

[Skylar "The Cobra" Widulski]

I've got an old Pentium II machine that I want to install Guix on. Booting up the i686-linux installation medium, I'm dropped into a guile REPL with this output visible on the 640x480 rectangle because NeoMagic framebuffer seems unsupported:

setting up setuid programs in '/run/setuid-programs'...
populating /etc from /gnu/store/lzcvl2y4qsj6fkkq4g42a3zyqj9rsxlr-etc...
creating /etc/machine-id...

Explanations? Possible solutions?

/gnu/store/0iapawfss4xnxls622g23qpk4mwb9ihp-glibc-2.33/lib/libc.so.6: CPU ISA level is lower than required program: "/gnu/store/j87mrzkw32dc03j9yxf2nxddn8621m1c-dbus-1.12.20/bin/dbus-uuidgen" It seems that there is an issue with the P6 (i686) microarchitecture used in the Pentium II, even though the image is labelled i686. I'm not sure what problem glibc would have with it.
