[Bug 1184297] Re: Secure boot failed, claiming boot is against security policy

[Steve Langasek]

I've reviewed the KEK and db from this system, and they appear to
contain the necessary third-party marketplace key as expected.  So the
only issue I see is that the system has not been configured to use shim-
signed on installation.

Bug description:
  I've struggled to install Linux on a Packard Bell EasyNote LV11HC,
  without having to accept the Windows 8 license, and my progress is
  documented in http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv .  Had to
  pull the hard drive and install to a USB stick to be able to get into
  the firmware menu and enable the F12 boot menu. After finally being
  able to install Ubuntu 13.04 on the hard drive, the UEFI firmware
  refused to boot the hard drive, claiming it was against the security
  policy.  I was able to boot Ubuntu by powering on again and using F12
  to pick the hard drive.

  No idea what is wrong, but can help with debugging the next few days
  before I switch to legacy BIOS and put it into production.
