Hello! Some news like this https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/3/780 nudged me to ask how to work with my kernel. I am using debian-sources and seeing this 

# eix debian-sources

What is mbs? Where to look if debian-sources had been patched?

If you have a time which criteria do you use choosing the kernel?

 

I am trying to compile kernel using wiki https://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_Kernels

But I cannot configure kernel for intel n3530:

As I know my proc is 686. How to define 686 sub-arch to config-extract?

currently there is no patch for the debian kernels. For tracking:

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5753

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5715

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-5754

currently, only Wheezy kernels getting a fixes:

I could not use prepared config for amd64, because of genkernel 'Could not copy configuration file'.

Also I could not create config again, because of config-extract 'Unable to open debian/rules.gen'

But `emerge -1 debian-sources` downloaded ad started to compile it.

Please let me know if there is way to turn back to old kernel when Funtoo will not boot after reboot?

that will depend on your /etc/boot.conf

make sure your config looks like this 

boot {
        generate grub
        default "Funtoo Linux genkernel"
        timeout 3
}

and also if you have already run emerge --depclean it will try to remove old kernels.

if you want to keep your older 4.8.15 kernel around you should do

 emerge --ask --noreplace =sys-kernel/debian-sources-4.8.15

remember to run boot-update after any changes to boot.conf

thank you. I cannot compare your code with this i have 

# cat  /etc/boot.conf 
boot {
	generate grub
	default "Funtoo Linux" 
	timeout 3 
}

"Funtoo Linux" {
	kernel bzImage[-v]
}

"Funtoo Linux genkernel" {
	kernel kernel[-v]
	initrd initramfs[-v]
	params += real_root=auto rootfstype=auto
} 

"memtest86+" {
	type linux16
	kernel /memtest86.bin
}

but I mentioned pcmanfm offered me twice to open new media while emerge worked, and I had only 2 variants on grub but here are 4.

hummm.. is there case if I run genkernel in /usr/src/linux ? may be for better result need previously  `cd /root` ?

not sure what you mean here.. but running getkernel there see the "Important" where it says:

Unless explicitly stated via --no-clean or --no-mrproper, Genkernel will do a make mrproper in the kernel source tree, thus cleaning a previous build and removing the previous kernel configuration file in it.

meaning it will remove your configuration and clean all previous builds!

as to your boot.conf the boot { } part is what you need to change 

default "Funtoo Linux" to default "Funtoo Linux genkernel"

mount /boot and look you should see the new kernel and initramfs 

then your ready to run boot-update

I've made changes but boot-update displayed warning. can you explain?

yes.i rebooted with new kernel 

# uname -r
4.14.2-1

and I have 3 variants in grub: funtoo 4.8, funtoo 4.14 and memory test

thank you very much! As I understood the result is kernel's xz (or bz if choosed this type) image on /dev/sda1 that intramfs loads to ram 

# fdisk -l
