shim_init error for debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-kde.iso
Hi,
I do not know to which mailing list I should send this request/bug
report since it is not obviously related to a particular package. I'd be
grateful for your help.
I use a Fujitsu Lifebook A3510 which only has uefi boot as an option (no
more legacy boot available). Secure boot is disabled. The BIOS is Insyde
H20 v. 1.10 (04/23/2021). On this machine, I have installed openSUSE
Leap 15.3.
I want to use the debian live system (in fact, I want to use GParted
which is based on debian). Thus, I downloaded the
debian-live-11.0.0-amd64-kde.iso (checksum OK) and copied to a USB-Stick.
This stick boots the live system OK on another Fujitsu Lifebook (E756)
which still has the legacy boot process, so I guess it is a valid
bootable medium.
Now, on the A3510 with uefi boot, the boot process stops quickly with
the following error message:
set_second_stage() failed: Invalid Parameter
Something has gone seriously wrong: shim_init() failed: Invalid Parameter
As a result, the live system of course is not available.
In fact, the very same error occured with the original openSUSE Leap
15.3 installation medium, when I first set up the machine. This problem
was resolved by substituting the file bootx64.efi in EFI/BOOT by an
updated version (see the discussion in
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187280) provided in an
updated shim package shim-15.4-11.31.x86_64.rpm.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of the details of the boot process is
limited and not sufficient to analyze whatever has been updated in this
package. I do not know if such a package exists in the debian
distribution, but of course, the file bootx64.efi also exists on the
debian live system USB-key as generated above.
Is there any way to create a debian compatible bootx64.efi that would
solve the boot problem?
I am prepared to send you any additional information needed, if you
guide me to find it (I have no previous debian experience ...).
Regards
