Hello,
Just curious....I'm getting this when booting opensuse tumbleweed on dual boot setup:
339249] tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transit: send(): error -5 339264] tpm tpm0: [Firmware Bug]: TPM interrupt not working, polling instead
I've just updated the bios on the motherboard and I see no errors booting windows.
Is this a linux problem or do I have to go to the MB manufacturer-Gigabyte?
Neither windows nor linux really needs the Trusted Platform Module, but it can be used to store supposedly secure stuff using software in Windows and maybe linux, not sure. Either way, that looks like a kernel boot diagnostic that tried to load a driver for it and failed. From what the diagnostic says, it's a bug in the firmware on your motherboard in trying to talk to that chip. If you don't need it, probably no worries, but if you are under warranty, you might use it on the premise that you may want it "some day". Windows SHOULD have some type of equivalent error message if you try to access the TPM from Windows. I know I have to go into the BIOS to enable my TPM -- neither windows nor linux can contact it. Perhaps the error message you are seeing is a result of the TPM not being enabled in the BIOS? I.e. if you don't know that you need it or don't know what it is for, don't worry about it (unless your computer/board is under warranty). If under warranty, read-up on the TPM or Trusted Platform Module maybe on wikipedia and think about if you wanna bother with it. But first check out your BIOS settings. It may not be enabled. Hope this helps. -l
Thanks for any help......
