RHEL 7 and Secure Boot

Latest response

According to this solution article, there are steps to follow when installing RHEL 7 beta on a system with UEFI Secure Boot enabled. But the GA release would not require those steps. How about the RHEL 7 release candidate that has just been released?

Well, 'doing it' is easier and faster than 'asking'. :-)

Turns out there is no selection for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Secure Boot Lockdown." on the 7RC installation media. So, I presume the key is the same as what will be in the GA release.

Installation on a system with Secure Boot enabled went just fine. Below is a df output (250 GB disk, default partitioning):
