  • TPM 2.0, should Linux care at all ?

    From Benny Pedersen@2:230/0 to All on Sat Jan 10 10:54:16 2026
    Hello All!

    well i think yes

    moved my nvnm disk from asus pn50 to asus pn53, and it booted, not :(

    it makes sense for servers, but it sooks for home users

    i think workaround is to use external harddisk as boot devices ?

    how do others solve it ?


    Regards Benny

    Hi Benny
    Did you try to disable Secure Boot? If system will boot after that you can add key with mokutil utility to TRM.

    yes it was disabled on pn50, but this is not so easy on pn53, its alot more new bios code for tpm

    If system will boot after that you
    can add key with mokutil utility to TRM.

    will try to solve it on monday here where i am with a friend that can help me check the underlaying errors, its also possible that /boot /efi need to be seperate partions, atleast i will make it so on the new nvm2 disk

    also i did not have very specifik efibootmgr setup in pn50

    hope gentoo is with me

    thanks to the pointer of mokutil
