I created an Ubuntu 12.04 live USB, with the secure boot option on in my uEFI BIOS, and put the Linux Foundation Secure Boot System
http://blog.hansenpartnership.com/linux-foundation-secure-boot-system-released/
on the USB stick. Booting the machine from USB stick, I can see the grub2 boot menu, however, after pressing enter to continue, it gave me this error:
----------------------------------------------------------
error: Secure Boot forbids loading mode from
/EFI/boot//x86-64-efi/linuxefi.mod
error: you need to load the kernel first
----------------------------------------------------------
I believe this is due to this patch (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/grub2.git/tree/grub-2.00-no-insmod-on-sb.patch) was applied in the package grub2 (2.00-7ubuntu11).
Any workaround I can let the boot continue?
Thanks.

Steven.
