Subject: [PATCH docs v2 1/1] bootloaders: add secure boot shim example
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 11:31:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702093215.84124-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
On a system that was migrated from systemd-boot to grub2 with secure
boot, the entry grubx64.efi would be missing and the systemd-bootx64.efi
entry would be present. If the shimx64.efi entry is not mentioned, then
the docs would incorrectly imply that the system uses systemd-boot as a
bootloader.
We add the shimx64.efi entry to the docs to fill this gap.

Notes:
On my machine:
$ efibootmgr -v

Differences from v1:
- Explicitly say that we use secure boot only if the boot is, indeed,
the active one
