FIPS kernels because they must go through a lengthy certification
process frequently lag behind the non FIPS kernels with respect to
SecureBoot revocations.  You are evidently trying to pair a newer shim
with aFIPS kernel which is no longer trusted by that shim. This is not
an ubuntu-image issue.

Title:
  EFI cannot boot FIPS kernel

Status in Ubuntu Image:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  During the manual customization phase I attach the machine to a pro
  subscription and enable/install the FIPS kernel. Once the image is
  built, I have 2 kernels available in the boot list, the original
  kernel and the FIPS kernel. When I use a VMWare U8.x VM with EFI,
  booting the FIPS kernel fails but the original boots. When I switch to
  BIOS (VMWare U7.2), it boots the FIPS kernel without issue.

  The error is a digest validation failure which appears to be related
  to the EFI shim.
