Now that v86d is pushed as e2303e8e375ed2e07c1fd760c86a204eb51fbc6e
(see <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-patches/2020-03/msg00681.html>):
The attached patch makes the graphical installer work on two old
computers I tested. I do not know how to proceed with it. I would
like something similar to be included in the next release. Maybe
kmscon works everywhere then. ('nomodeset' is not needed; I leave it
in only for testing on computers where the graphical installer works
anyway when not passing 'nomodeset'.) The patch should not change
behavior on machines where /dev/fb0 is created via modesetting anyway.
