This is not an error, just a notice coming from the shim that enables Fedora on Secure Boot machines. Fedora should install fine regardless of whether or not Secure Boot is enabled. > Background information: > Laptop: Acer Aspire 5560 > Current OS: Windows 7 > Phoneix SecureCore Tiano Setup > > > When starting the laptop F2 opens the Phoneix setup menu, in the "Security" > sub-menu there is not option to enable "secure boot". If your laptop came with Windows 7 preinstalled, then it likely predates secure boot. Again, Secure Boot is not required to install Fedora, so this doesn't matter. > I'm trying to perform the installation via DVD > Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso .

Your assumption might be incorrect. ;-) There's a problem with using actual spinning discs with UEFI systems and Fedora 18 [1]. While the bug speaks only of Mac hardware, I've experienced it on Windows UEFI systems as well. Try creating a Live USB with the latest version of Fedora's liveusb-creator [2] (other software like unetbootin might not do UEFI right) and see if that works. -T.C.
