We are running through some final testing now for CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream .. updates later today for EL8. For CentOS Linux 7 .. I just pushed the latest shim packages (we had to get these signed by Microsoft .. as do all distros that do shim. Microsoft is the official CA for secureboot. So in the next few hours, after the mirrors sync up .. you should be able to fix any EL7 machines. I'll post here again once we have pushed the EL8 and CentOS Stream updates. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The version of shim says 15-7, which I presume is the bad one. What do I need to do? Obviously, a reboot will encounter the failure. Or, should I perform "yum update" periodically and wait for shim 15-8 to appear, and only after that do the reboot? Or is there some other remedy? And by the way, I'm amazed at the speed with which this problem was addressed and a fix provided. You guys work wonders. David
