This actually has nothing to do with whether secure booting is turned on or it. If your bootloader description isn't either "Windows Boot Manager" OR "Red Hat Enterprise Linux", although it will boot from Fedora installation media, but then refuse to boot from the system installed on the hard drive. Hopefully, Lenovo will provide BIOS updates to fix this one. I suppose one COULD work around this by burning a CD with a kernel/init that then mounts the hard drive for the root filesystem. Personally, I would just avoid Lenovo systems. Bill Bogstad
