We have fedora's EFI secure boot shim. Documentation suggests loading the shim to unlock secure boot, and that the shim side loads grubx64.efi in the same directory.

sys-boot/shim

    Homepage:            https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/shim/
    Description:         Fedora's signed UEFI shim
root # emerge sys-boot/shim

these files are added to the system:

  • /usr/share/shim/BOOTIA32.EFI
  • /usr/share/shim/BOOTX64.EFI
  • /usr/share/shim/mmia32.efi
  • /usr/share/shim/mmx64.efi


root # mkdir /boot/EFI/FUNTOO
root # cp /usr/share/shim/* /boot/EFI/FUNTOO/

uefi secure boot

  • press the f1 f2 f8 f9 f10 esc or delete to load bios.
  • set bios to load uefi usb devices first, disable secure boot, and enable legacy mode. save settings and exit.
  • press the f1 f2 f8 f9 f10 esc or delete to load your boot selection menu.
  • load EFI from file, point to /boot/EFI/FUNTOO/shim
  • shim will greet you with access violation warnings.
  • fiddle around to get mok manager to load up.
  • select add key
  • point to /boot/EFI/FUNTOO/grubx86.efi
  • press the f1 f2 f8 f9 f10 esc or delete key to load your boot selection menu.
  • load EFI from file, and again point to /boot/EFI/FUNTOO/shim which will now load funtoo under secure boot.

fallback default efi partition

   Warning

avoid this if possible

root # mkdir /boot/EFI/BOOT
root # cp /boot/EFI/FUNTOO/* /boot/EFI/BOOT/

Uncooperative

  • mokutil looks helpful when uefi secure boot is uncooperative:
root # emerge sys-boot/mokutil
