I was installing Fedora 41 on a Win 11 based system to make it dual boot. Upon rebooting I got this message:
Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation It turns out Microsoft created a patch that interfered with systems that had a dual boot arrangement. I performed a search for that error message, and found instructions on how to make a dual boot Linux/WIndows system work. Following the instructions I was successful with getting F41 and W11 to coexist. On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 7:13 PM Ted Mittelstaedt <[email protected]> wrote: > F9 eh? I never thought about that one.
