GRUB cannot boot with secure boot

PROBLEM

I'm trying to use secure boot with my setup, but I keep getting errors in GRUB.

#####
SETUP
#####

My setup is the following:
Drive Partition_name Mountpoint
/dev/sda
|-/dev/sda1 EFI System /efi
|-/dev/sda2 Linux extended boot /boot
`-/dev/sda3 Linx filesystem

sda1 is the ESP where the '.efi' file is /efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

sda2 is the XBOOT that contains:
|-grub/
|-amd-uc.img
|-intel-uc.img
|-System.map-x.y.z-gentoo
|-config-x.y.z-gentoo
|-initramfs-x.y.z-gentoo.img
`-vmlinuz-x.y.z-gentoo

sda3 is the encrypted root.

sys-kernel/installkernel is compiled with:
USE="dracut grub"

sys-boot/grub is compiled with:
USE="device-mapper fonts nls secureboot themes"
GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"

GRUB is installed with the following command:

My solution is to disable it entirely. I assume you have decided that you are at high risk of unauthorized code execution, a bootkit, or some sort of malware that specifically affects your Linux installation. My question, seeing your exhaustive efforts to enable and troubleshoot secure boot, is are you sure you really need it?
Do you have reason to believe that your system integrity is at risk and need to verify it every time you boot?
If you do not need it after all, then simply disable it. If you feel you %100 require it or benefit from it for your use case, then proceed.
Obviously, if you must dual-boot with Windows for some reason, it may be difficult to avoid. Otherwise it is optional.

I use secureboot with sys-boot/shim and it works with dual-boot windows.

Here is everything discribed what you need for it.

FlyingBullets,

SecureBoot means: Your UEFI verify the signature of the FIRST application it starts. This can be a bootloader/-manager OR a Linux kernel (or Windows). If it is grub - and UEFI has started your grub, ANYTHING else is THEN the job of grub. This means: If you dont want that somebody exchange your kernel then you must configure GRUB so that it verify ALSO your kernel. There was a description for this in our forum (at first glance it was very complicated) and I had forgotten it ... because the simplest way (for me) WHEN using SecureBoot is: Start your signed kernel directly via UEFI ...

In this article is also a link to my (manually) SecureBoot solution:

Another story is ... a UKI ... If you need SecureBoot you should not use a kernel WITH an external initramfs. If you need an initramfs (because your root partition is encrypted) then USE an embedded initramfs. You have two choices to do this:

1. Automatically with installkernel, or
2. Manually: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Tutorials/Initramfs_Overview#Special_Case:_Building_an_embedded_initramfs_with_a_CPIO_archive
