When I boot with "install-x86-minimal-20240520T163355Z" or newer, I get the following error message.
Code:

Anything up to "install-x86-minimal-20240513T170400Z" is OK, so something must have changed between 20240513 and 20240520.

The system in question has the following CPU.
Code:
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 5
model           : 10
model name      : Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by AMD PCS
stepping        : 2
cpu MHz         : 499.927
cache size      : 128 KB
physical id     : 0
siblings        : 1
core id         : 0
cpu cores       : 1
apicid          : 0
initial apicid  : 0
fdiv_bug        : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu de pse tsc msr cx8 sep pge cmov clflush mmx mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow cpuid 3dnowprefetch vmmcall
bugs            : sysret_ss_attrs spectre_v1 spectre_v2 spec_store_bypass
bogomips        : 999.85
clflush size    : 32
cache_alignment : 32
address sizes   : 32 bits physical, 32 bits virtual
power management:


Perhaps it's related, but once I boot with the older Live CD, the installation works fine as long as I use "stage3-i486-openrc-20240513T170400Z" or older; "stage3-i486-openrc-20240520T163355Z" or later won't let me run "chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash" (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Base#Entering_the_new_environment).

Code:
livecd /mnt/gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
/usr/lib/libc.so.6: CPU ISA level is lower than required


Is it time to retire this old machine? If so, what would be my option? There doesn't seem to be many 32-bit Linux distros that are still maintained.

Indeed. Thanks for sharing. I should have been more vigilant.
