+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1451071 +++ Secure boot is activated in the bios and i can boot without issue. But dmesg output is : dmesg -t | grep -i 'edk\|secure' Secure boot could not be determined While normally it should be: Secure boot enabled and kernel locked down Kernel 4.11.0-2.fc26.x86_64 Bootloader : Grub2 --- Additional comment from David Howells on 2017-05-16 08:55:21 EDT --- What grub version do you have? There's a bug in grub that might be the culprit (bug 1418360). --- Additional comment from on 2017-05-16 09:55:28 EDT --- The last one : 1:2.02-0.38.fc26 I have at boot a EFI stub message that informs me that secure boot is enabled. But no kernel lockdown for dmesg.

Also isn't there a bug in kernel also. Looking at the note given in struct boot_param, as well as how the efi boot wrapper within in the kernel is using some part of the boot_param to set its own parameters, after it has got control from the original bootloader, why is the sanitize_boot_params WRONGLY reseting parameters which are (or can be as is the case here) set outside/after the bootloader. Other than fixing the blind and potentially wrong copying of parameters area into boot_param by grub. The kernel should also be fixed to have some additional parameter to check if bootloader has set the secure boot related params or the kernel's efi boot wrapper has set it, and then sanitize only if required. OR am I missing something here? --- Additional comment from on 2017-06-21 04:55:23 EDT --- Same issue kernel 4.11.5-300 FC26 beta. I do not have the impression that this bug is moving to be fixed. If the grub team is the only one competent, is their informed of this bug? Replacing grub with a signed systemd-boot could help solve the problem. But I do not know if it's in the pipes... --- Additional comment from Fedora Update System on 2017-06-26 17:27:56 EDT --- grub2-2.02-0.40.fc26 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 26. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-01b07bc086 --- Additional comment from Fedora Blocker Bugs Application on 2017-06-26 17:33:27 EDT --- Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 26-final by Fedora user pjones using the blocker tracking app because: Without this we can't verify from inside the OS that Secure Boot is enabled. --- Additional comment from Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski on 2017-06-27 06:15:23 EDT --- (In reply to Fedora Update System from comment #8) > grub2-2.02-0.40.fc26 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 26. > https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-01b07bc086 What about F25? The issue occurs there as well.
This occurs in F25 also because the sanitize_boot_params() call that used to be made before the secure boot state was evaluated wasn't allowed in upstream (it *should* be unnecessary - except that it gets tripped by bug 1418360). For F25 it's probably best to put back the sanitize_boot_params() call that was removed.
Version 0.38 allowed unsigned modules to pass. I was able to boot with unsigned nvidia drivers. I discovered this by asking myself why the 0.40 did not boot ...
*** Bug 1470995 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
