Hi Karthik, tboot-devel, Any news on the HP BIOS? Are there any laptops available yet that support tboot? I seem to remember a post from Joe explaining when they might become available but I've been unable to locate it. A search on newegg.com for laptops with vPro turns up several machines. Lenovo and Toshiba seem to be using an M45 chipset. ASUS has one with a GM965. My understanding is still that Q35 and X38 are the only ones that work today.

Hi Karthik, Thanks for the quick response. Intel, are there SINIT modules available for these systems? Are they shipping with SINIT modules as part of the BIOS?

Hi Jon, That is a good question. In fact I think Joe would be the right person to answer this. We (HP) get the latest BIOS and SINIT AC modules from Intel for our mobile platforms. I am not sure if the SINIT modules available on the Tboot sourceforge website (for desktop chipsets) can be used on the mobile platforms which has the bios integrated with latest BIOS AC module (I think both the modules should match for tboot to work). I am guessing that the SINIT modules for the mobile platforms will also be soon uploaded onto the sourceforge website. Thanks Karthik On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 12:18 PM, Jonathan M.

We have several HP 6930p laptops with MV chipset (GM45/ICH9). The systems do not seem to ship with the AC module pre-loaded in BIOS from what I can tell. At least when I use tboot without an external SINIT module, tboot fails to validate the contents of the ACM BIOS area. I think Intel should be making the SINIT for this platforms available soon.

Hi Ross Tboot worked for me on the 6930p, probably because I have the correct latest SINIT module for the mobile platform. I am sure, once Intel makes this modules available for the public, you can try tboot without any issues.

Karthik, I also have an SINIT from Intel that is supposed to be the latest. My reply below was to indicate that I thought the HP laptops did not have a valid ACM shipped in the BIOS region. Unfortunately even with the SINIT module, I cannot get tboot working on these HPs. Did you do anything special to get it to work? Thanks Ross -----Original Message----- From: Karthik .

I am using F.0B - the latest publically available for those systems. Tboot executes GETSEC[SENTER] and one of two things happens. 1. The system hangs during ACM execution and never re-enters tboot. 2. ACM completes and successfully re-enters tboot in SMX mode. Shortly after the system hangs while executing in tboot (seemingly at random spots from a tboot perspective). Thanks Ross -----Original Message----- From: Karthik .

One of the cases where Tboot hangs is when you have any USB device (drive, keyboard, mouse) plugged in. So to avoid this you need to remove any USB key attached, during Tboot loading process and can plug it back once you are in the OS. HP is working with its vendor to resolve this issue and an Engineering Advisory will soon be posted on its website addressing this issue.
