Trouble replacing the bootloader

Ask Fedora
2

I fixed the issue.
What worked, after reading the comments on an efibootmgr issue, was to:

  • enable secure boot from bios
    • “secure boot” was disabled (and false); I actually had to toggle “UEFI” to “legacy” and back so I would get it (disabled and) true
    • I had to set a bios password in order to enable the secure boot setting
  • register Fedora’s shimx64.efi in the secure boot trusted list from bios
  • change the boot order from bios, moving the new “fedora” entry to the top
  • disable secure boot

I think I had secure-boot “on” at that time.
