Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 - "secure boot" issue

[komobo]

I’ve just installed Rocky 8.4 on my Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 using a USB stick created on my MacBook by dd’ing the Rocky-8.4-x86_64-dvd1.iso image onto /dev/rdiskX - usual sort of thing I’ve done for CentOS many times before. However, when I booted from the stick I got a warning “Secure Boot Violation. Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup” and startup would go no further until I’d gone into the BIOS and disabled Secure Boot.

Having completed the installation (total breeze - thanks, guys!) I re-enabled Secure Boot before booting off the hard drive, but again I got the “Secure Boot Violation” warning so I had to turn it off again.

In the BIOS Security settings it says “Secure Boot … will prevent un-authorised OS be loaded”, so why is CentOS 7.9 2009 authorised and Rocky 8.4 isn’t?

Secure Boot Status

Secure boot is in progress and has been since the project started. We expect to have it wrapped up within the next month or so. The forum is a little slow, our primary venue for communication is the chat on chat.rockylinux.org. However, good point, I’ll make sure our secure boot progress is stated in the July community update (if it isn’t finished by the time that goes out).

I upgraded to 8.5 recently. Turned on secure boot in the bios and all seems well.
