[Linux-ima-user] no TPM chip found

[Lavina J. <lav...@gm...>]

Hi,

I compiled new kernel with ima support by applying
ibm-ima-patch-2.6.22.9.patch and following the instructions in the INSTALL
file. I am able to boot the new kernel, but it cannot find the TPM chip on
my laptop.
The output of "dmesg | grep IMA" is as follows:

[    5.360000] IBM Integrity Measurement Architecture (IBM IMA v8.3
10/09/2007).
[    5.360000]     IMA (test mode)
[    5.360000]     IMA (TPM/BYPASS - no TPM chip found)

I am using Lenovo X61 laptop that has Atmel TPM chip. I am able to talk to
TPM using trousers and tpm-tools. Commands like tpm_version are working.
Modules tpm_bios, tpm and tpm_tis are loaded. Any ideas why IMA cannot find
the TPM chip?

Kind Regards,
Lavina
