I have an HP EliteBook 850 G3. It's completely locked up with SB enabled
(BIOS is password protected and I've not access to it). Luckily I can
choose the boot device and I can boot a carefully installed USB3 SSD
(Debian + Ubuntu shim). Of course it boots also the pre-installed
Windows 10.

yes, I can see the GRUB menu and also the "booting in insecure mode"
that happears right before it.

yes, I also get this same error independently from the choice is select.

I did not do any of these actions (BIOS is locked etc etc). I doubt
that any custom key has been installed, the Ubuntu shim works and,
once it is confiured so to ignore the kernel signature, it also boots
my existing SSD.

I cannot state this, it is the first time I use this stick. Anyway
I'm sure it's the Buster RC1, it's in the grub description.

thanks,
