PreLoader fails on (some?) UEFI system lacking secure boot

Open mirh opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments 

Failed to install override security policy: (14) Not Found

At first I thought the problem was between this tool, meant for Secure Boot computers, and mine. Given it's just EFI 2.1 compliant it doesn't even conceive what 'SecureBoot' is.

Yet, after checking source code I wonder how in the world I don't simply get the "Not a Secure Boot Platform" message. And why (after I press OK) boot sequence doesn't continue and I am returned to boot device selection instead.

I would have loved to ping James, but I was unsure on where Causes systemd/systemd#2627

I'm afraid I'm not involved in active development of the preloader - we just use some other tooling from this repository. Your best bet is to email James.
