[TrouSerS-users] Taking ownership of my TPM fails.

[Tobias H. <to...@aq...>]

Hello people!

I hope this is the proper place to address an issue I am having with my TPM=
=20
and/or related tools:

I can not claim ownership of it. Trying results in this output:
src/tpm/tpm-tools > tpm_takeownership -l debug
Enter owner password:
Confirm password:
Enter SRK password:
Confirm password:
Tspi_Context_Create success
Tspi_Context_Connect success
Tspi_Context_GetTpmObject success
Tspi_GetPolicyObject success
Tspi_Policy_SetSecret success
Tspi_Context_CreateObject success
Tspi_GetPolicyObject success
Tspi_Policy_SetSecret success
Tspi_TPM_TakeOwnership failed: 0x00000003 - layer=3Dtpm, code=3D0003 (3), B=
ad=20
parameter
Tspi_Context_CloseObject success
Tspi_Context_FreeMemory success
Tspi_Context_Close success

I am running a linux 2.6.12 kernel patched with the tpmdd code from today o=
n a=20
IBM thinkpad T43p (tpm_nsc module) and am using the tpm-tools pulled from=20
CVS. The TPM was cleared using the BIOS before trying this.

Most tpm_* commands fail from here returning code=3D0012, No SRK, but=20
tpm_selftest claims to be a success. I used a really simple password in bot=
h=20
cases, so there shouldn't have been a problem parsing that.

Any ideas what I could check?
