|
|
I have two problems whilte installing sys-boot/grub with secureboot flag. I placed the entries in the make.conf file
Code: | SECUREBOOT_SIGN_KEY="mypath/file.key"
SECUREBOOT_SIGN_CERT="mypath/file.crt" |
During installation, sys-boot/grub finds mypath/file.key and asks me to enter the password.
Problem 1: Password entry is not hidden. When digitally signing the UKI kernel with dracut, the prompt is hidden. I would like it to be like this, otherwise I will leave my password in the console logs with each grub installation.
Problem 2: After entering the password, nothing happens. Signing UKi using dracut takes seoncds. In this case, after 20 minutes still nothing minutes. Htop shows the minimum CPU consumption. Something is probably wrong here, or maybe grub takes so long for some reason? I'll wait even longer, but I don't think the installation will go any further.
My password is not wrong. I double check my key with
Code: | oepnssl rsa -in mypath/file.key -check |
and after entering the password the result is RSA key OK. |
