[oS-en] Can't boot freshly installed 15.3 system.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can't boot freshly installed 15.3 system (with current updates as of today). I get (hand copied): error: bad shim signature. error: you need to load the kernel first. Press any key to continue. Details: It is a new external hard disk, via USB3 (tried also USB2) on a laptop that has internally Leap 15.2 and Windows, both booting normally. On this external hard disk I installed 15.3 (UEFI mode). The UEFI boot menu does not display this disk at all. The efibootmgr man page doesn't say how to add a new entry: CREATING A NEW BOOT OPTION An OS installer would call efibootmgr -c. This assumes that /boot/efi is your EFI System Partition, and is mounted at /dev/sda1. This creates a new boot option, called "Linux", and puts it at the top of the boot order list. Options may be passed to modify the default behavior. The default OS Loader is elilo.efi. 3. What are those options to modify the behaviour??? It is an example section with no examples!!! So, instead I boot 15.2 (with current updates as of yesterday), start yast boot manager, and tell it to probe the disk for other systems. It does find 15.3, and the error I posted above is precissely what happens when using that probed entry. No matter if I select failsafe.

Do you intentionally start backwards so that nobody can understand where error message comes from? shim from 15.2 embeds openSUSE certificate and kernel from 15.3 is signed by SUSE key. You need to enroll SUSE key if you are using openSUSE shim. You should have seen MokManager request after installing 15.3.

The new system on the external disk doesn't boot at all, that is the problem. The normal system in the internal system boots fine.

Sorry? I am describing the problem to the best of my abilities.
shim from 15.2 embeds openSUSE certificate and kernel from 15.3 is signed by SUSE key. You need to enroll SUSE key if you are using openSUSE shim. You should have seen MokManager request after installing 15.3.
I did not see anything. The machine was happily installing packages and I was looking elsewhere. Suddenly, it went black. I thought it was a screen saver (in YaST installer?), but no, it was rebooting. There are two boot problems, two possible boot methods: a) The boot menu of the UEFI system of the machine does not display the external disk at all. This can be seen in the efibootmgr output I posted. Can I add it and how? The man page does not say how. b) the grub menu of the internal disk (with 15.2) contains entries to boot the external kernel (on 15.3), added by yast when probing for other dystem, but boot fails with that shim message. I assume this is what you are saying about the openSUSE vs SUSE key. How can I solve this other problem? I see problem b) mentioned here: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/message/... https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/message/...

You do not need chroot for this. You can do all of this from within 15.2. All that you need is mokutil --import /data/Erebor/etc/uefi/certs/4AAA0B54.crt If it is already enrolled, it is noop.

What is it? Is it your USB disk?
Only the internal disk is listed there, AFAIK. The external disk is not listed at all, that is problem #1.

You have three different openSUSE boot entries - opensuse_main, opensuse, opensuse_aux. Which one is which? One of them may well be your 15.3. What device /boot/efi is on in 15.3?
None is 15.3. All are on the internal disk. opensuse_main 15.2 opensuse I don't know (*) opensuse_aux 15.0, another partition, doesn't boot (same shim error message). (*) But it is the same hard disk. My guess, it is an old entry that I forgot to delete long ago, pertaining to the initial 15.0 install, before I changed the name of the installation in /etc/default/grub.cfg

You need to mount efivars in chroot:
mount --bind /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /data/Erebor/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
I thought something like that, but no idea which.
Can't continue procedure you asked on another post on those threads linked above.
You do not need chroot for this. You can do all of this from within 15.2.
All that you need is
mokutil --import /data/Erebor/etc/uefi/certs/4AAA0B54.crt
If it is already enrolled, it is noop.

It booted (using the 15.2 grub menu on internal disk). This time I saw and realized what it was the MokManager request menu. A big blue screen coming from the firmware, a *very strange window*. There should be clear instructions somewhere about this *very strange window* is going to appear at boot, because now I remember that I have seen before that strange blue text mode screen , or a very similar one, without any explanation whatsoever, either before or in it. The only thing I clearly saw was to press some key to boot. I get something similar when booting from USB stick, I thought it was the same one. Sigh. Yiks, it is uglier than old MsDOS 2.0 screens! Thanks. Why do we need to add this key manually, and we, at least I, did not need to do it to install 15.0 when I bought this laptop? I thought we asked M$ to add the key to the firmware back then. Well, I still need help to tell the UEFI to add entries in the menu for the external disk to boot directly on its own... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

These two entries boot the small 15.0 (internal disk). I just found out. Notice they are missing on the "efibootmgr" output I pasted on the first post, and appeared later. I can not explain this. Boot0003* openSUSE --> produces a blue screen coming from firmware, similar to the mok menu, but not the same. It apparently wants to confirm that I want to boot this (possibly because it is not secure). Then I get the grub menu of 15.0. Boot0004* opensuse_aux-secureboot --> boots 15.0 grub menu instantly. When I tried to boot this one this morning, it would not work, it displayed the same shim error as 15.3 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Possibly, but that ugly blue screen text mode coming from the firmware is new, I don't remember seeing it when I installed openSUSE the first time.

I asked you on which device /boot/efi of 15.3 is located, you did not answer. Show "blkid", "lsblk -f" and "ls -lR /boot/efi" (or tree if you like it more) when booted into 15.3.

Sorry, I missed. sdb, of course, external disk. There is another one on the internal disk. During the install, on the partitioner module I selected guided install, and there unclicked sda and clicked sdb, so everything went to sdb. Then I used the expert partitioner to do my own layout, but I did not touch the efi partitioner.

lsblk in full detail is in the first post of this thread (those command outputs are at the end of this post). Meanwhile, possibly happy developments.

Ah, before, the information you asked for:
Show "blkid", "lsblk -f" and "ls -lR /boot/efi" (or tree if you like it more) when booted into 15.3.

and the entries for this install are gone from efibootmgr:
If firmware refuses to keep these entries there is not much we can do from openSUSE side. See if there is possibility to define boot entries in BIOS setup - they may be kept. Otherwise your only option is to is ESP on the main disk for Leap 15.3, so all boot entries are on the same disk partition.

I know. :-(

I'll check. Not now, it is running a big rsync (the purpose of this external disk is to do backups of the internal disk).
Otherwise your only option is to is ESP on the main disk for Leap 15.3, so all boot entries are on the same disk partition.
Err... sorry, what is ESP? Ah, EFI system partition. How do I tell YaST, running on /dev/sdbX, to write to ESP on /dev/sdaX? Can I just umount /dev/sdb1, mount /dev/sda1 in its place (/boot/efi), and then tell yast to write the ESP thing? Can that work? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
