[Xen-devel] vTPM setup problem on the emulator



Hi,

I tried to install the vTPM in Xen-4.1.0 + Dom0 kernel 2.6.18.8 + DomU kernel 2.6.18.8. The device is TPM emulator.
However, I  encountered several problems.

1. In DomU, I run "modprobe tpm_xenu" successfully. But it doesn't creates the /dev/tpm0 device as our had expected. So, the trousers cannot be started. An old thread in Xen mail-list can do this,(http://old-list-archives.xen.org/xense-devel/2006-12/msg00002.html) but it helps little to me.
Is there any problem with my vTPM front driver? The tpm related modules and other info in DomU is list here.
[root@gavin-pv ~]# lsmod | grep tpm
tpm_xenu               15752  0 [permanent]
tpm                        17952  1 tpm_xenu
tpm_bios               10112  1 tpm
[root@gavin-pv ~]# tcsd -f TCSD TDDL ERROR: Could not find a device to open!

2. In Dom0, I run "modprobe tpmd_dev" and "modprobe tpmbk" also successfully and I can get the devices /dev/tpm, /dev/tpm0, and /dev/vtpm. However, I cannot start the tpm emulator (# ./tpmd -f clear pvm 1) and vtpm manager (# vtpm_managerd). The related info and output error from Dom0 is also list here.
[root@localhost tpmd]# lsmod | grep tpm

tpmbk                     19516  0 [permanent]

Thanks in advance for your any reply.
