But when I try to upgrade to "leia", the movies freeze or not start. Could be the hardware?

Perhaps that chip lacks some minimum extensions or something.  Dunno.

I'd donate that thing in the prehistoric computer section in the nearest museum. Also, did you use Kodi's PPA for installation?

As far as I can tell, a somewhat overclocked Raspberry Pi 3B+ is a more overall suitable Kodi client than your i686 and whatever GPU it has onboard.

Yes, I used PPA... haha
This computer could be old but worked for years with xbmc and so after Kodi, the gpu is not onboard but it's not the great one, it's cheap and i didn't showed here.
I have some rpi 3 here, I thought to use it like my kodi but i never found a psu for my external hd's and i have 4tb of movies and series Sad

You could put the external HDDs as internals in the old PC, set it up as a simple file server and put it away in a closet or so. Then have the RPI(s) as a quiet Kodi client device running LibreELEC.

Or try LibreELEC directly via a bootable USB stick on the old pc, although support for old(er) AMD/ATI graphics is really a lottery. Some work, some don't.

Any relevant info in the kodi debug log or dmesg from the machine itself?
