Description schaefi 2012-12-30 15:26:08 UTC

Here the details of the bug. The bug is completely reproducible.

Hardware: HP ENVY 6-1160ez
-          Chip: Intel® Core™ i5-3317U (1,7 GHz, 3 MB L3-Cache)
-          RAM: 8 GB DDR3
-          Disk: 500 GB SATA (5400 U/min) + 32 GB mSATA SSD
-          Display: HD BrightView LED-Display mit einer Diagonalen von 39,6 cm (15,6") und Hintergrundbeleuchtung (1366 x 768)
-          Graphic: Intel HD Graphics 4000 (bis zu 1,65 GB)
-          Details: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c03548945.pdf
-          the Laptop comes with pre-installed Windows 8 and UEFI

I generated a bootable USB-Stick with another computer under Fedora 17 with:
    "livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-18-Beta-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /dev/sdg"
whereas /dev/sdg is the unmounted USB stick

I then inserted the USB stick in the HP-Laptop and booted:
-> ESC to enter the startup menu
-> press F9 to enter the Boot Manager
-> in the Boot Manager select: USB Hard Drive (UEFI) - LaCie iamaKey
Then an error message follows: 
"Selected boot image did not Authenticate. Press <Enter> to Continue."
that brings me back to the Boot Manager

As an alternative in the Boot Manager:
-> in the Boot Manager select: Boot from EFI File
-> select: LIVE [Acpi(PNP0A03, 0)/Pci(1410)/Usb(2,0)/HD(Part1, SigEFAOEA4E-3994-49FC-BE59-92E4B42C4336)]
-> select <BOOT>
-> select BOOTX64.efi
(-> alternative select grubx64.efi brings the same solution)
Then an error message follows: 
"Selected boot image did not Authenticate. Press <Enter> to Continue."
that brings me back to the Boot Manager

My interpretation:
The image is correctly put to the USB stick.
The USB-stick is correctly recognized by the laptop. 
Grub does not start because the UEFI-key is not correctly presented.

Anybody can provide help?
Please let me know if any additional info is required.

Here some additional information to this bug:

If I change the setting in the HP computer to "Legacy Support = Enabled" which results at the same time "UEFI = Disabled" then the grub comes up from the USB stick and the Fedora 18 Live Image is loaded correctly.

My interpretation:
This confirms that the USB stick is correctly setup and the problem is with UEFI

I just gave it another try with Fedora-18-TC3-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso

I generated a bootable USB-Stick with another computer under Fedora 17 with:
    "livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-18-TC3-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /dev/sdg"
whereas /dev/sdg is the unmounted USB stick

I then inserted the USB stick in the HP-Laptop and booted:
... and it worked perfectly :-))   . Grub loaded and the started Linux correctly.

Perfect!!
(Let's see what will happen next)

This is clearly SB. Beta images did not have the MS signature; Final TC3 onwards does. Closing as a dupe of the 'shim is not signed' bug, as that was essentially the 'bug' here.
