loader still causes error

Hi

I just downloaded the 2015 february iso wrote it on my USB stick, and tried to install Arch 64 bit on my Toshiba Satelite P50 with secure boot enabled.
Already have a dualboot Win8.1 with Fedora 21, and 100gb spare discspace.

When i tried to boot the usb, it raised an error, suggesting to enroll the loader.efi.
Done so, exit tried again, failed, rebooted, failed again.

So i thought, since the (grub?) boot menu entry was labeled CD, i'd might have better chances when booting off a CD.
Nope.

Same behaviour.
Even enrolling the hashes of loader.efi, hash-tool.efi and grub64x.efi, trying instantly using exit, and after a reboot, raises an error: "loader still causes error" blue box on black background (similar to the enroll menu - msgbox).

So i cannot boot/test arch.
Any advice or ideas please?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: Signature is outdated

Just disable Secure Boot -- the installed system will not boot with Secure Boot enabled anyway (unless you generate your own keys, enlist them and sign your kernel image & boot loader/manager).

Re: loader still causes error

Thanks, was hopeing to hear something diffrent.

Follow up question, is it still possible to leave out the installation of the bootloader?
So i could use the already installed grub to load arch, after adding it to the existing config from fedora?

Yes, I do that in reverse for all my additional distributions and just use Arch to control the booting process for all of them.
