Hi ALL,
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Kernel Information :
uname -a: Linux debian1064 5.16.5-ibox3-pc-amd64 #5 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 28 12:30:41 JST 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I cannot find any place to check whether this kernel version is official.
Could you tell me how to check whether this kernel version (5.16.5-ibox3-pc-amd64) is official ?
If you know, please write down the link.
Best Regards.

Press "e" at the bootloader screen with the Debian entry highlighted and check the location given for the kernel image (on the "linux" line) then use the 'file' command on that kernel image to check the version and use 'dpkg -S /path/to/vmlinuz_image' to see which package owns that file.

BTW, I've just noticed: the mere name of the kernel should tip you off that it's not an official Debian kernel, because it has the name ibox in it (unless you compiled Debian kernel sources yourself and somehow named it that way).
Here are the official names of Debian kernels from Bullseye on my system:
The current vanilla amd64 kernel package is called:
uname -a gives this info:
Newer kernels from Backports have bpo in their name, e.g.:
