Fix for Fedora Atomic Desktop and Fedora IoT boot failure
mercredi 10 juillet 2024, 19:20 , par LWN.net
Fedora Atomic Desktop
and Fedora IoT systems installed before Fedora 40 may fail to boot after an update if secure boot is enabled. Fedora Magazine has a post by Timothée Ravier about the problem, how users can work around it, and what the project is doing to avoid the similar problems in the future: On Fedora Atomic Desktops and Fedora IoT systems, the components that are part of the boot chain (Shim, GRUB) are not (yet) automatically updated alongside the rest of the system. Thus, if you have installed a Fedora Atomic Desktop or a Fedora IoT system before Fedora 40, it uses an old versions of the Shim and bootloader binaries to boot your system. When Secure Boot is enabled, the EFI firmware loads Shim first. Shim is signed by the Microsoft Third Party Certificate Authority so that it can be verified on most hardware out of the box. The Shim binary includes the Fedora certificates used to verify binaries signed by Fedora. Then Shim loads GRUB, which in turn loads the Linux kernel. Both are signed by Fedora. Until recently, the kernel binaries where signed two times, with an older key and a newer one. With the 6.9 kernel update, the kernel is no longer signed with the old key. If GRUB or Shim is old enough and does not know about the new key, the signature verification fails.
