As a solution in my case I decided to patch the check for the secure boot
bit in arch/x86/kernel/setup.c. I think SB is something good for windows
but don't want my custom kernels to have anything to do with it. Maybe
others can argue against this but I like it that way.

I also dropped the pesign part ... don't need it either.

Thanks for the replies.
