(services (cons* (service openssh-service-type (openssh-configuration (permit-root-login #t))) (service slim-service-type) (remove (lambda (service) (eq? (service-kind service) gdm-service-type)) %desktop-services))) and slim just works, it fixes the problem for me because I don't want to run gdm on this low power machine anyway, but maybe somebody can understand why slim runs and gdm not, I did not do much special I just wanted to make my first guix install and got X running with the light-desktop config with some minor unrelated changes like adding a few packages and activate ssh. The only thing as I said was that I set a password for root, but that seems also not to be such a untypical step. So I wonder if that is a 32bit only problem else I would assume many people would run into that. More or less the default installation broke, sure not the graphical installation, with that I had problems with grub, because if I remember correctly it assumed efi support. It's strange to me that switching the display-manager fixes the problem because that would imply that the gdm package is buggy, which again it's in the default desktop-services variable. But for me it's ok and maybe somebody else runs into that problem, then maybe my bug report information helps.
