I am getting the following boot error message when starting Oracle Linux 6.5 (UEKR3 kernel-3.8.13):
tpm_tis 00:09: A TPM error (7) occurred attempting to read a pcr value
IMA: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!
I have no TPM chip on motherboard and therefore TPM is disabled and not activated in BIOS. OL6.5 UEKR3 kernel-3.8.13 is compiled with options
CONFIG_TCG_TPM=y
CONFIG_TCG_TIS=y
(drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis.c)
So, as tpm_tis is not built as module, but compiled in kernel, I cannot suspend this error message by blacklisting the module as it doesn't exist. The only way might be a kernel boot parameter, but this area is poorly and badly documented.
Has anybody a clue how to get rid of this stupid error message?
