    Dear Maintainer,

    * What led up to the situation?

    Want to enroll my own secure boot key to my Lenovo ThinkPad X280 (BIOS 1.57 from April 2025).

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)?

    Tried various ways to boot KeyTool.efi from the UEFI Setup: adding it via efibootmgr, preparing a GPT/EFI-bootable USB stick.

    * What was the outcome of this action?

    KeyTool.efi launching for 2-3 seconds with random garbage characters, then the computer rebooting

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

    KeyTool UI to show up as documented in the various guides.
