I'm afraid I have no idea what's needed, if anything, for vmdb2 to support Secure Boot. I've never used SB, don't know much about it, I fear touching the grub-related parts of vmdb2, and I'm afraid I'm unlikely to have time or energy to learn in the next few months. I'm not even sure I have hardware on which I could test SB. However, I'm happy to accept patches. The grub installation in vmdb2 is done by this module: http://git.liw.fi/vmdb2/tree/vmdb/plugins/grub_plugin.py Kernel installation is typically done by this module: http://git.liw.fi/vmdb2/tree/vmdb/plugins/apt_plugin.py This is a .vmdb file for a PC with UEFI (I've not tested it recently, but it used to work): http://git.liw.fi/vmdb2/tree/uefi.vmdb I'm happy to guide whoever works on this at the correct parts of vmdb2, and to answer questions about it, but I can't promise to do much more than that, sorry.
