Delays beset the Linux Foundations Secure Boot workaround

On Tuesday, James Bottomley, chair of the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board, admitted that the effort was not progressing as quickly and smoothly as had been originally hoped.

"We have the code for the Linux Foundation pre-bootloader in place," Bottomley wrote in a blog post. "However, there was a delay while we got access to the Microsoft signing system.

Causing all this turmoil, of course, is the fact that Windows 8 hardware will come with Secure Boot enabled in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), meaning that only operating systems with an appropriate digital signature will be able to boot.

Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE Linux are all among the Linux distributions that have unveiled plans for working around the problem, which has also drawn attention from the Free Software Foundation.
