Malformed binary after Attribute Certificate Table #760
Description
I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from iPXE using Ubuntu's signed shim. Here's what I'm trying to boot with:
kernel http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/shimx64.signed.efi kernels/22.04.5/vmlinuz initrd=kernels/22.04.5/initrd insert cmdline here
Here's what I get when I run it:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/shimx64.signed.efi... ok
