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.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
I updated my Centos 7, and it's awaiting a reboot.ÃÂ The version of
shim
says 15-7, which I presume is the bad one.
What do I need to do?ÃÂ Obviously, a reboot will encounter the
failure.Ã
Or, should I perform "yum update" periodically and wait for shim
15-8 to
appear, and only after that do the reboot?ÃÂ 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.ÃÂ 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?
David
Yes .. it should be on mirror.centos.org now .. you could change the repo where your updates come from. OR .. wait for that mirror to get updated.
I just did yum clean all yum update
and 15-8 showed up. Maybe the 'clean all' did it, or maybe just showed up.
I applied the update (yum update), rebooted and... no boot. Just a blank screen.
Hardware is a Mac-Mini :-(
This is not an essential machine, so I could re-install (from netinstall) if you think it's worth the effort.
Or what?
David
