Torsten,

thanks, here is my strace related to tpm:

open("/dev/tpm", O_RDWR) = -1 ENODEV
(No such device)
write(2, "Can\'t open TPM Driver\n", 22Can't open TPM
Driver
) = 22

I also inserted some printk in tpm.c and tpm_nsc.c
(tpm_atmel.c as well). I only saw "init_tpm" be
called. "tpm_open" was not even called!

This machine (IBM thinkcenter S51) has a TPM
(confirmed by IBM support and its own specs). So, the
only possible problem is the driver. Any idea?

thanks a lot,

Gang
