Yeah, I just figured out how to query the signature of the new and 
previous grub image.  The new one is signed with "Red Hat Test Certificate"




[root@vagrant ~]# pesign --show-signature --in 
/var/tmp/grub2-16/boot/efi/EFI/centos/grubx64.efi

-
certificate address is 0x7fb81b3cb808
Content was not encrypted.
Content is detached; signature cannot be verified.
The signer's common name is Red Hat Inc.
No signer email address.
Signing time: Thu Mar 26, 2015
There were certs or crls included.

I also suspect this is a grub2 issue. Perhaps, you may want to file a
bug report [against grub2] at http://bugs.centos.org so that this can

[CentOS] Secure boot

2015-09-16 Thread Gordon Messmer
After updates to grub2 and kernel in CentOS 7, today, systems will no 
longer boot in Secure Boot mode.  I'm not positive, but I think grub2 is 
the culprit.


Is anyone else seeing the same problem?

So I gather that MS plans to abandon the X86 platform and move over to 
supporting ARM.  They think, "Let Linux have the X86.  It will die after 
we abandon it leaving them with nothing to run on."  The evil empire lives.

Actually at least for X86 hardware the Microsoft certification guidelines
*mandate* that the secure boot can be disabled.

First, the manufacturer can/should decide to let the user enable/disable secure 
boot in the bios...

As for linux, from memory, different distributions chose different paths...
I think RedHat will apparently buy a key from verisign and Canonical has 
decided to use their own key.
I think they need to use non GPL boot loaders (to protect the key I guess), so 
no grub2...

On X86 you will be able to disable the secure boot so you can then
install what you want - not such a big deal

It's ARM (which is not currently supported of course) which is the
questionable one...

[CentOS] secure boot.

2012-08-22 Thread Jimmy Bradley
I've been reading up some about the new "secure boot" that's
coming out on new machines when MS releases Win 8. Has a workaround been
developed yet for those of us who don't want to run windows? Typically,
I mostly build my own desktops, and I install cent os right from the
start, but sometimes I do buy a desktop, and naturally it comes with
windows on it, so I have to do a wipe and load, to get rid of windows.
