Hi Mimi,

Still did not get change to have a look at V2,  but seems you missed the
last chunk of comments about the secure boot mode in previous reply?

I just copy it hear:
'''
Do you want to get the Secureboot status here?
I got some advice from Peter Jones previously, thus we have below
in our kdump scripts:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kexec-tools.git/tree/kdump-lib.sh

See the function is_secure_boot_enforced(), probably you can refer to
that function and check setup mode as well.

Thanks
Dave
