tried the gentoo i386 minimal installer. but everything hangs and loading does not go

The main question is, how much memory ? 667mhz should be fine with Linux, but the memory can be a problem. I find if less than 2 gig you may run into issue with X based utilities. Maybe try something like puppy(?)

But, for 32 bit machines with limited memory, I'd go with NetBSD or OpenBSD. Both seem good in low memory situations and you get the benefit of 2038 support.

X's will not
only bare console.
512 RAM.
need to run at least something. This board turns out to work with any operating system.
after i saw the slackware installer menu
boot:

Everything, further installation did not go.
There is no response to a single key on the keyboard.
can't understand anything

Maybe give SliTaz or Tiny Core Linux a try. :)
