Jonathan,

Can you share a link to the instructions to assist others in a similar situation, please?

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.

F9 eh?  I never thought about that one.  What's the issue you are having
installing Slack?

I am not able to find any info on this model using this model number.
also, this does not follow the pattern of HP model numbers I'm used to
seeing, so I wonder if there could be a different model number on
there somewhere.
Wes,

This laptop has no lable on it. On the shipping label I found the serial
and
product numbers. On an HP web page I needed to enter both numbers and that
linked to a page with the model #14-dq0803ds.

based on your later posts, I suspect that what you need is the "boot
menu"
key rather than changing the boot order in bios. HP has never been
particularly consistent with their option keys at boot time (as
opposed to dell, where the bios key has mostly been f2 from day one,
and once they started having boot menus, it's mostly been f12 since
day one). HP seems to be a fan of using the escape key during boot to
present an overall boot options menu, that may be worth a try.
While F10 allowed me to change the boot order, I needed to use F9 to make
the system accept the new order. Shrug.

Now the USB flash drive boots, but there's an issue installing the OS.
Working on that.

Thanks,

Rich
