We have had a lot of requests for better documentation, and are working on an updated tar, and a reposting of the individual patches with better descriptions of what they are doing. > > Has this been tested on Dells?

The base 2.6.12 and above kernels have TPM device drivers for Atmel and National TPM chips version 1.1b, which covers most IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads and Desktops shipped in 2004 and 2005, and some HP and Toshiba machines. Dell announced TPM support, but I believe that they are using 1.2 version chips, which are not yet supported by the standard drivers. If you have a Dell with the new TPM chip, we would be very interested in helping with the draft 1.2 drivers, and EVM/SLIM, as we have had no testing on Dells so far. The current package has been tested only on Fedora Core 4 and Red Hat Enterprise 4 beta, as that is what we normally use internally for client systems. The new package will include a more robust method of initrd generatation, which should make it work better on varying installations. dave safford
