[opensuse-factory] UEFI Secure Boot in Fedora
Juat a heads-up for those who didn't see it yet: Implementing UEFI Secure Boot in Fedora http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html TL;DR: - All Windows 8 hardware will ship with secure boot enabled. - Fedora doesn't want to have to make users fiddle with their firmware settings in order to run Fedora, so must support secure boot. - They're doing a multi-layer thing: - A tiny bootloader, signed with a microsoft key, loads: - a real bootloader (grub 2), signed with a fedora key which loads: - the kernel (& thus modules), also signed with fedora keys. Presumably it's worth evaluating this to see if a similar approach is suitable for openSUSE.
