Open your windows Disk Management utility and right-click on C: partition and select Shrink Volume in order to resize the partition for Fedora installation. Preparing Windows Machine for Dual-Boot for Fedora

Download Fedora 32 Workstation ISO Image.

What I do not understand is why this updater does those checks even when trying to build a rescue USB - this operation will not touch the actual BIOS and should be perfectly safe to do on any computer - not necessarily a compatible one.The only requirement is, you must allocate a free space on the disk with at least 20 GB in size in order to use it later as a partition for Fedora installation.

This is perfectly fine when you'd like to do the actual upgrade as it will stop you from flashing a BIOS for a different laptiop model.

* The updater retrieves the hardware information from WMI. This starts to look like a motherboard replacement will be the only solution.

VERACRYPT STUCK ON BOOTING UPDATE

BIN file on a blank FAT32-formatted USB stick in the path requested by the BIOS Update (EFI/HP/BIOS/New, Helwett-Packard/BIOS/New), but the built-in updater was unable to recognize them - probably some additional magic is needed, which is nowhere documented. I have also tried to manually place the BIOS. I have tried this on a Windows VM, but it fails as it cannot recognize the hardware. Unfortunately some $%$%hole designed it so that you cannot even build such a Rescue USB unless you run it on the exact same laptop model (chicken-and-egg problem).* While I have a second laptop, both of them are running Linux. HP allows to do this via the BIOS updater program, which is delivered with each BIOS update package.

Next I have tried to prepare a USB stick with the BIOS image to upgrade. I have initially tried to walk through the BIOS Setup to reset it to factory settings, but I noticed that I was not hearing the beeps where I was hearing them on the working laptop's BIOS Setup so this got me to the conclusion that the Setup is not working. I got a second, identical laptop from a collegue at work to serve as a guide for blindly walking through the menus.

I have tried the Win+B combination and the only reaction I can see is that the fan starts spinning full speed just as if the CPU was in a busy loop. Signature 0, size 781, owner 6f307028-9ae7-49d7-af6e-f91a5e90c4a1įor now this is proving to be a nightmare. At the moment the keystore only contains my custom keys: It looks like some configuration variable got corrupted and BIOS got confused or there is some silent assumption in the BIOS about the presence of certain OEM keys in the keystore. # hexdump /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/SecureBoot-* | awk '' The secure boot also works as the GRUB binary is signed and trusted by the key chain I enrolled and secure boot seems to be enabled: The boot configuration works - GRUB is installed and configured with efibootmgr to boot by default.

The question now is how to bring my BIOS back to life. So it looks like loading the keys triggered something that caused at least part of the BIOS to fail. My UEFI custom keys have been loaded sucessfully - I have checked that from Linux. The lapotop LCD panel however remains blank and even the OS does not recognize its existence. I was also able to connect an external monitor which worked normally. Eventually I have tried to blindly type my disk encryption password and surprisingly my Linux system started and I was able to log it to it remotely. The LEDs appeared to be working, the keyboard LEDs responded, but no display. Unfortunately when I rebooted the laptop the screen remained blank. I noticed that the application enabled secure boot by itself (I left it disabled in BIOS).

Then I started the KeyTool EFI application to install the keys, which was sucessfull. Next I enabled the option in BIOS to install custom keys and disabled the option to install Microsoft keys as I don't use Windows on this laptop.

I have prepared a full certificate chain (PK, KEK, DB) and signed by GRUB EFI binary with a key included in the DB. Yesterday I have tried to finally enable secure boot using custom keys. Everything works fine, however in order to get it booting using UEFI I had to disable secure boot. I've been using my laptop with Linux (Gentoo to be precise) for some time now.
