The tablet has only one port, so I use a hub for keyboard and USB key.
Immediatly after booting Linux, all hub port light goes to off.

If it's dying in the installer, can you boot it to a shell or rescue
media?  Are you getting any kernel messages on the screen before the
installer?

Sorry my sentence was not precise ("after booting linux"),

It die after pressing enter on grub menu.
No kernel message, nothing new on screen.
Only visible change are USB light off.

I have really no clue.

A lot of distros set the 'quiet' option to _keep_ the kernel from
spewing messages at boot.  Ubuntu sets "quiet splash", for instance.

Going into the grub menu and killing the 'quiet' and replacing it with
'debug' is a good place to start.  earlyprintk=vga can also help if
things are still blank at that point.  I thought we used to have an
earlyprintk=efi, but it seems to have vanished at some point.

But, you've got a bit of oddball hardware.  It's from the _far_ extreme
end of 32-bit-only hardware.  The fact that it had Windows on it isn't a
great sign.  There could be a BIOS bug that trips Linux up but Windows
is perfectly happy with.  There was definitely a sad period of time
where folks were not interested in fixing issues like that.
