Ah, thanks. I was looking for something like this but did not
find mokutil. And indeed SecureBoot is enabled:
$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot enabled
The Fed 27 Live version which I used for the install contains
a 4.13 kernel. So the bug with notification is related to 4.13.
But the following update to the 4.14.14-300 kernel did not correct
this.
I suggest filing a Red Hat Bugzilla bug against the kernel. Include complete dmesg. Include mokutil --sb-state, and if you see the very early message about Secure Boot right after the GRUB menu goes away but before the Plymouth boot splash, mention it.
Weirdly, Secure Boot support is not in the mainline kernel. Every distro is carrying their own patches including Fedora.
