Can't install Arch on UEFI - vmlinuz: Access denied

TheIchor · 2013-07-20 21:14:23

I tried to install Arch along Windows 8, but everytime I try to boot into Arch from a Live USB to install it, it says something along the line of "vmlinuz: Access denied". Then HashTool asks me to enroll the hash of "loader.efi". After I do it, it says "vmlinuz: Access denied" again, and "access still denied after enrolling". I will write down the errors and post them. Thanks in advance

"Error booting /arch/boot/...../vmlinuz: Access denied"
"archiso is giving a security error"
"You must enroll the hash for loader.efi"
"I will now execute HashTool for you to do this"
"Error booting /arch/.....
"archiso is giving a security error"
"loader is still giving a security error"

If secure boot is enabled, disable it.

Windows8 has this 'fast Startup' feature which keeps Win8 in 'Hibernation'. You have to shut down Win8 properly.
Also 'fast boot' needs to be disabled on some machines.
'Secure Boot' too needs to be disabled but some OEM setups won't let you 'disable' Secure Boot.

If you have an intel based machine and have an SSD as a 'cacheing disk' then check for 'Intel SRT', disable it.

I am not sure of this with Arch, but you need to show the installer some 'unallocated space' for it to work. (This is quite common in Ubuntu as its installer won't work if it doesn't see 'unallocated space').

Disabled "Secure Boot" and it started. Thanks.

You also need to enrol the hash of /arch/boot/...../vmlinuz , sicne vmlinuz itself is a valid EFI application (efistub) and gummiboot (loader.efi) simply launches the efistub code, but the firmware check for signature of the efistub code before launching it.
