I’m saying you can manually add a boot entry if the installer doing it
fails. That way you’ll be able to boot into stretch and help debug.

Oh, sorry, I just didn't see there are more recipients.
Well, If I understand correctly, you are saying to add boot entry
manually in bios, but its there already ("debian (hdd details)"), and
when I enter into, I am in grub without any entries, only cli of grub,
so it seems I should load/configure grub manually (somehow).

You could try installing stretch (I assume that was your goal) and
then manually adding a boot entry from your system’s BIOS setup.
As is the typical warning in this sort of scenario, please make
sure you have backups of your data.

How can I install packages from stretch into jessie? or if I'll

besides those logs I have sent already?

Since it seems like you’re actually running Jessie right now,
could you install the versions of efibootmgr and libefivar
from stretch to reproduce (or otherwise provide me debug
information from those versions of those packages)? I don’t
have your motherboard so can’t reproduce myself.

Reportbug was run on Jessie and efibootmgr's log was from
jessie as well, but files attached in previews email were from
stretch installation, all logs were from the same hardware. So
now its running Jessie and I could provide logs related
hardware useing Jessie.

Looking up BIOS versions for that motherboard, I don't see
anything that looks like the information you gave. Could
you give the version and release date from "sudo dmidecode
-t bios"? Also, can you confirm the exact versions of
efibootmgr and libefivar you're seeing this on? I noticed
that your bug report shows versions for those packages
found in jessie, not stretch.
