I'll post here again once we have pushed the EL8 and CentOS Stream
updates.
OK .. I have also now pushed the CentOS Linux 8 update .. you should see an update to SHIM .. the new versions are:
PowerTools/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-unsigned-x64-15-8.el8.x86_64.rpm BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-ia32-15-15.el8_2.x86_64.rpm BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/shim-x64-15-15.el8_2.x86_64.rpm
For CentOS Linux 7 .. the new files are:
x86_64/Packages/mokutil-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-ia32-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-unsigned-ia32-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-unsigned-x64-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm x86_64/Packages/shim-x64-15-8.el7.x86_64.rpm
You need only replace the files you currently have installed, not install every file.
Please report both positive and negative results.

I updated my Centos 7, and it's awaiting a reboot. The version of shim says 15-7, which I presume is the bad one.
What do I need to do? Obviously, a reboot will encounter the failure. Or, should I perform "yum update" periodically and wait for shim 15-8 to appear, and only after that do the reboot? Or is there some other remedy?
And by the way, I'm amazed at the speed with which this problem was addressed and a fix provided. You guys work wonders.

It would be best IF the kernel and shim get installed at the same time if possible .. so I would install the kernel again (since it is not running yet) with the new shim.
BTW .. it does not fail on every install .. so it might work w/o the new update. However, no need to chance it at this point. Wait until the new shim is there and install it and reinstall the kernel is my advise.
Here's what I get...
rpm -qa | grep shim shim-x64-15-7.el7_9.x86_64
yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.fileplanet.com * epel: mirror.prgmr.com * extras: mirror.shastacoe.net * remi-php73: mirror.sjc02.svwh.net * remi-safe: mirror.sjc02.svwh.net * updates: centos-distro.1gservers.com 373 packages excluded due to repository priority protections No packages marked for update
Should I just wait for 15-8 to appear?
