#1 Updated by akuckartz over 6 years ago

"Now that The Linux Foundation is a member of the UEFI.org group, I’ve been working on the procedures for how to boot a self-signed Linux kernel on a platform so that you do not have to rely on any external signing authority.

"After digging through the documentation out there, it turns out to be relatively simple in the end, so here’s a recipe for how I did this, and how you can duplicate it yourself on your own machine."

Just so you know, this useful content would be better suited for the
blueprint. A wiki is more appropriate, to organize such input data,
than a pile of dozens of comments on a ticket. Thanks!

That requires that the Wiki can be edited. Unfortunately I have not yet seen a reply to my mail to sent about a month ago regarding the broken password reset.

We happily take pull requests.
