What hardware is this failing on? FWIW I do not see this with any of my UEFI systems which include Lenovo laptops, a Dell, and a Macbook Air from 2010. The Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-Rawhide-20220711.n.0.iso image works just fine on all of them. Those messages are unrelated, they will always show up because we can't know the size of the disk this is written to beforehand. I also see them on my working systems and USB stick. It's possible that some difference between isohybrid and the xorriso hybrid approach is causing problems with 'sensitive' firmware though. I'm not sure how to debug that... Huh, that's interesting. It's my test box, which is built from parts; the motherboard is an Asus H97M-E, I believe. I meant to send out a call for testing but I guess I forgot, I'll try and do that since you're not reproducing it anywhere! Results from the call for testing:
Geraldo Kutz ("Acer Aspire"): good
Kamil Paral ("three different computers"): good
Luna Jernberg: unclear but seems to suggest image does boot
Richard Shaw (Gigabyte B550): good
Stephen Snow (https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=64e8ddf1c9): good
Also cmurf suggested some parted commands for me to play with which I didn't get to yet.
so, on the whole, looks like I've just got an ornery system. I guess I'll remove the blocker nomination at least for now.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle. Changing version to 37. I have the same observation with an Asus Z87-PLUS motherboard. The brief GRUB message is Invalid Image Failed to read header: Unsupported Failed to load Image: Unsupported start_Image() returned Unsupported _ This also applies to Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-37_Beta-1.4.iso. I found that if I replace grubx64.efi and BOOTX64.efi in the EFI System partition (ANACONDA) with versions from Fedora 36 Mar 25 20:37 grubx64.efi May 5 2021 BOOTX64.EFI booting proceeds as expected.

Oh interesting. That would mean this is actually a grub2 issue. Could you open a bug against it? @awilliam can you try doing the same thing with your hardware? Reported here for GRUB: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?63024 Seems to have been reported here for shim: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2113005 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2113005 *** |
