Package: systemd-boot-efi Version: 252.6-1 Hi,
booting in Secure Boot mode with a self-signed systemd-bootaa64.efi works well on arm64. However, trying to boot via shimaa64.efi fails with the following error: shim.c:866:load_image() attempting to load \EFI\BOOT\grubaa64.efi pe.c:844:verify_sbat_section() No .sbat section data Verification failed: Security Policy Violation Looking for the SBAT section in systemd-bootaa64.efi confirms that indeed it is missing: objdump -x /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootaa64.efi | grep .sbat # <- no output Instead, on amd64: $ objdump -x /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi | grep .sbat 7 .sbat 000000d9 0000000000028040 0000000000028040 0001dc00 2**2 [136](sec 8)(fl 0x00)(ty 0)(scl 3) (nx 0) 0x0000000000000000 sbat Note that .sbat is not the only section missing. On arm64 there's only .text and .data: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .text 0001a000 0000000000001000 0000000000001000 00001000 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 1 .data 00002000 000000000001b000 000000000001b000 0001b000 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA While amd64 has: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .text 00015710 0000000000005000 0000000000005000 00000400 2**4 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 1 .reloc 0000000c 000000000001b000 000000000001b000 00015c00 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 2 .data 000064b8 000000000001c000 000000000001c000 00015e00 2**4 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 3 .dynamic 00000100 0000000000023000 0000000000023000 0001c400 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 4 .rela 00001038 0000000000024000 0000000000024000 0001c600 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 5 .dynsym 00000018 0000000000026000 0000000000026000 0001d800 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 6 .sdmagic 0000002b 0000000000028000 0000000000028000 0001da00 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 7 .sbat 000000d9 0000000000028040 0000000000028040 0001dc00 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 8 .osrel 0000003f 0000000000028120 0000000000028120 0001de00 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
