    Kernel module signing

    HI guys,
    I use Fedora 18 and I've installed VirtualBox from RPMFusion repo. With Secure Boot activated, only signed modules are allowed:

    Code:
    # /etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox.modules
    Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxdrv.ko: Required key not available
    Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxnetflt.ko: Required key not available
    Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64/extra/VirtualBox/vboxnetadp.ko: Required key not available
    My question is, can I make an exception for VirtualBox Modules or is it necessary to disbale Secure Boot?

    Thanks Japplo

    Re: Kernel module signing

    It seems. there is no other possibility

    Q: What if I want to build a custom kernel or load 3rd party kernel modules?
    A: You will need to disable Secure boot, or setup your own keys and sign everything with them.
