TPM module is failing to load on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Issue
- With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 (kernel
2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
) we use, theTPM
chip (Version 1.2), which is not detected/probed successfully during boot. In/var/log/dmesg
the following entry appears:
tpm_tis: probe of 00:13 failed with error -5
- No
/dev/tpm0
device gets created. - We tried with RHEL 6.7 (kernel
2.6.32-573.1.1.el6.x86_64
) with the same result. On RHEL 7.1 however the TPM Chip gets detected/probed just fine and an according device/dev/tpm0
gets created.
