Hello, all computer geniuses – and BitJam in particular.
Serious installation problem on a new HP Pavilion 570-p010 desktop (8 MB RAM).
The live CD works excellent – in fact I am using it now.
This fact (unfortunately) made me use the entire hard disk for AntiX (-I just can’t bear with Windows 10)When supposed to start AntiX from Hard disk, it says:
“Secure boot violation. Invalid signature detected. Check secure boot policy in setup.”I have tried to install AntiX-17 three times – exactly the same result.
If trying to start from hard disk when using Installation CD (AntiX-17 base), it says:
“Serious error.
Could not find file antiX/linuxfs
Sought after type: hd
all units
/dev/sdb /dev/sr0 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sda ”So the computer only works with the live CD inserted…
What to do ?

hello KenzoG,
This isn’t an antix problem but a uefi bios issue. I had this on
a g6 laptop. You have to go into the bios settings and disable the
secure boot. Somewhere in the bios tabs it should say secure boot
keys or something similar to that…disable those and it should
boot grub. Hope this helps. If that don’t work you could try to
enable legacy mode (windows 7 mode) in bios settings.Thank you very much, linuxdaddy, for your answer!
It is of course the most logical thing to do, to disable secure boot.
Even though I have used Linux for more than 7 years, HP Bios boot system is very unknown to me.
Apart from changing boot order, I have never used it.Is there anything in particular that should be thought about ?
Not as far as I know. I think the secure boot is tied to the windows 8 and 10
boot loader and the fat 32 partition they use. The grub loader works fine without
them and it’s not just HP Bioses all of the newer uefi setups have the boot keys.
At some point I might experiment with it as my g6 laptop and my A-10 tower
use uefi setups. Glad that I was able to help.Yes, thanks again, linuxdaddy, this was a piece of cake!
It was just:
1. Not to bother about the big red box with warning text, advising against changing the settings.
2. Then disable secure boot.
3. And finally to enter a security code, verifing that I seriously wanted to alter the system.SOLVED, AntiX-17 is running on my desktop!
Glad it went easy, it’s been a while since I’ve had to mess with bios settings.
Especially on newer hardware.
