Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I tested

shim 15.4-3 (Bug 1938630)
shim 15.4-4

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora 34 from USB or installed system
2. Update shim 15.8 to 15.4-4 on Fedora 34 Beta 1.3
3.

Actual results:
By default, the system boots with \EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi. In Bios i can create Boot Option with \EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi and Fedora boot from USB Live or SSD.

Expected results:
Bug fix.

>Security Boot on - black screen without errors
What happens next? Indefinite hang at blank screen?

>Security Boot off - "The Matrix" screen
What happens next? Does it get to a GRUB menu or also indefinite hang?

Could you boot Fedora 34 beta (shim-15-8) with Secure Boot enabled, and attach dmesg, and also the file from 'tar -acf efivars.tar.gz /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/' ?

Yes. The laptop must be turned off via the power button.

> >Security Boot off - "The Matrix" screen

It lasts 5 or 10 minutes, then the laptop reboots and everything starts all over again.

I installed Fedora 34 1.2 Silverblue with shim 15.8 and then updated shim to 15.4-4 and the system boots.

AFAIK SilverBlue doesn't update the files in the ESP yet, so you are not
really updating to shim 15.4-4 when doing an OSTree upgrade.

I wonder if this is a duplicate of bug #1955416.

Yes, it looks like the same bug.

Error at boot, security boot off

I photographed the error while loading.

Failed to get device path
Failed to find fs: Invalid Parameter
Failed to load image Path(162,60,0x000....

It looks almost the same as the Lenovo laptop.
