final issue description and thread closure
Hello all,
so, after more time spent to solve, I got (I suppose) the issue:
- during the installation/uninstallation of some Wifi components, a new kernel was installed; after the uninstallation, I was not able to update Grub2 to repoint to the old one.
- at the first boot the access was not possible.
All solution got from community indicated to use /usb or /cd boot, then to mount --bind the important dev's then try to update or fix Grub2. Using Software installer or apt-get I was not able to install the good kernel so I given up.
Anyway, thank a lot for attention.

NAME
mk_kernel - load a kernel configuration from a system file
SYNOPSIS
path_name] system_file]
DESCRIPTION
reads configuration information from the system file (see system(4)) and applies those changes to a kernel configuration (see kconfig(5)).
performs a function similar to that of but has some semantic differences in order to preserve compatibility with previous releases. will
build a new kernel executable only if needed to effect the requested changes. may reuse existing kernel executables when possible.
Options
recognizes the following options.
Specify the target kernel path.
If the target kernel path specified is changes are applied to the currently running kernel configuration. They will take effect
immediately if possible; otherwise, they will take effect at next boot.
If the target kernel path specified is of the form changes are applied to the saved kernel configuration named config. The
changes will not take effect at next boot unless that saved kernel configuration was already marked for use at next boot.
If the target kernel name is a single word containing no slashes, that name is used as the name of a saved kernel configuration.
The changes are applied to that saved kernel configuration. The changes will not take effect at next boot unless that saved ker-
nel configuration was already marked for use at next boot.
If the target kernel path is not one of the forms specified above, then exits with an error. Other locations for kernel exe-
cutable files are no longer supported.
If the option is not specified, the changes are applied to the kernel configuration called The changes will not take effect at
next boot unless that kernel configuration was already marked for use at next boot.
Specify the HP-UX system description file.
If this option is not specified, the system file is used. For details see system(4).
Verbose mode. (Has no effect; retained for backward compatibility.)
