Until is doesn't work any more. You cannot run a new system with an old 
kernel forever. Some parts of the new system require new features 
provided by a newer kernel. You should have upgraded the kernel as soon 
as you upgraded from Wheezy to Jessie. Same when upgrading from Jessie 
to Stretch.

Why without network ? Networking does not need /home or /tmp to be mounted.
