One week later!! For an unknown (for me at least) reason, I lost grub! 
And as I am (or was) unable to use rescue boot, I reinstalled Stretch 
and doing that I lost my DNS  chrooted config and my iptables rules. As 
I am not  as good as I was, it took me a week to recover (even my 
health, physical and mental). But there still is one issue: at boot time 
there still is the message: "no symbols table", when all the kernel 
modules seem to be loaded, and modprobe doesn't seem to fail! Does 
someone understand? Sorry for my English.
