Hi Didier, thank you very much for the detailed answer to my post. I would like to say some things.
1- Having arrived the new HP laptop PC, I run into some difficulties. The problem I had already detected of the USB drive recognition. On the machine where I created the USB stick was recognized as sdg1 and now on the laptop, still sdc1. Surely I can correct this error on my key by calling the lilo with the correct sdc, but I do not understand how this error that brings the kernel panic with my key, which I kept a lot on the new laptop.
2-for the problem of safeguarding the key itself, there is a tune2fs command, it seems to me, to disable journalising.
3-I do not know Slint, but I must say that I am an old 60-year-old faithful and I seem to betray Slackware, which has given me so much, since the beginning, even if sometimes, it is difficult to do things, but if I wanted the facility there would be Ubuntu, the live from which I'm writing this post, which sudo apt get-install, solves every problem ...
Thanks Didier.
This thread is really interesting and I hope it will be useful to others.

That's because the kernel gives a name to the devices in the order it discovers them, which can vary. As solution his to name the partitions by UUID, as done automatically by the scripts here.

That's not enough, in my opinion.

That's fine. By the way I am 69
PS I don't think I am betraying Slackware maintaining a Slackware derivative, as I propose to Slackware the changes I thing could benrfit it that I first tried on Slint.
Best regards,
