I rebuilt my kernel and rebooted and I think I am all good. It booted and

then patch the .config. I was hoping I could use the defconfig kernel, but
it looks like that is not possible. Since I am building 8.1 with rpm
package manager tool chain and all of the base LFS I wanted to get xorg and
kde running quickly, then go back and tune it. I will build 8.2 when it
becomes available. I would build it sooner but I did not have enough time
as I have not finished 8.1 to desktop yet. I only have AMD systems so I am
not concerned with Meltdown and specter. I know there is some vulerablilty
but my exposure is not too great so I will fix that when I get to 8.2.
The defconfig on x86 is unlikely to be totally correct for anyone -
most recent additions (except network device manufacturers) default
to off.
For Meltdown, yes no worries on AMD. But Spectre is still possible
(although hard to do, and the mitigation aims to make it harder).
Will be waiting see if the kernel I now have will work with vlc and blue ray
movies.
No idea about blue ray, but for local video files vlc seems to work
fine.

In the past vlc played movies just fine. On freebsd most HD movies
won't work because they don't load the firmware so on a 8 core AMD 8320
with 16 GB ram they don't play. Never had that problem on Linux. That
is one of the reasons I left freebsd, another reason is the insanity
that has seem to have taken hold in the freebsd developers
