Hi Anupam, Sorry, I am a little confused about your explanation.
In my kernel, only CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set to yes. But from the 2nd answer of this post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24975377/kvm-module-verification-failed-signature-and-or-required-key-missing-taintin), it says "no need to disable this option in kernel". So my question is this answer is wrong? If no disable "CONFIG_MODULE_SIG" in kernel, "module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing" always be printed? Thanks!
