Building Fedora RPMs that use pesign

This guide describes how to build RPMs that use pesign. Pesign is used for signing PE/COFF EFI executables so that they can be used with UEFI secure boot. Enrolling DB or MOK keys and signing kernel modules is beyond the scope of this guide.

Preparation

Install pesign.
```
sudo dnf install pesign
```

Switching between AHCI and RAID on the Dell XPS 15 (9560)

This guide likely applies to other models and, potentially, even laptops from other OEMs that have NVME drives. However, I've only tested this on my Dell XPS 15 (9560) with the OEM Windows installation from the Signature Edition model.

Switching from RAID to AHCI

Switching from RAID to AHCI is significantly simpler than switching from AHCI to RAID. All that's needed is a successful boot to Safe Mode.

To set the default boot mode to Safe Mode, use msconfig.exe or open an admin cmd/PowerShell window and run:

	---
	- hosts: vyos
	vars:
	# This would ideally go in the host vars.
	vyos_config:
	# ...
	# The structure is identical to what `show configuration json pretty` in
	# operational mode produces. For the vast majority of VyOS commands, the
	# command <-> JSON translation is 1:1. For example, the command:
	#

	#!/usr/bin/env python3

	import argparse
	import os
	import struct


	PAGE_SIZE = 4096
