because that would be the right kernel to load?
This might be related:
Debian Bug report logs - #794410
debian-installer: Installer hangs during 'select and install software'
Otherwise I didn't find any similar scenarios with Jessie.
At this point I'm afraid you maneuvered yourself into a corner and you better
install Debian Stretch from scratch. This may save time instead of trying to
figure out what is wrong, fixing and following the upgrade-path further.
You might want to try a live-DVD (put on a USB-stick) first but then don't
install from the live-os but use netinstall instead.
Booting the live-os will give you the opportunity to save data and config files
before starting the install from scratch.
All the best
