UEFI0072
Message Unable to load the firmware from arg1 because of the Secure Boot policy.
Arguments
• arg1 = device name
Detailed
Description
When the Secure Boot feature is enabled, the system BIOS authenticates each UEFI
driver against the Secure Boot policy. If a UEFI driver does not meet the policy
criteria, the system BIOS does not load or execute the UEFI driver and displays this
message at the end of POST. The Secure Boot policy consists of authorized and
unauthorized X.509 certificates; signed drivers must chain to an authorized
certificate. The policy may also authorize hash values of individual UEFI driver
images. Users can configure the Secure Boot feature and the Secure Boot policy in
F2 System Setup > System BIOS > Security Settings page.
Recommended
Response
Action
If the Secure Boot feature is not desired, disable it in System Setup > System BIOS >
Security Settings page. Otherwise, do the following: 1) Make sure the firmware on
the failing device is up-to-date. 2) If subsequent failures occur, review the Secure
Boot Policy Summary in System Setup > System BIOS > Security Settings page. The
device firmware must be authorized by a public key or hash value in the Authorized
Signature Database. The public key or hash value must not be present in the
Forbidden Signature Database.
