Re: [Xen-devel] Compile Xen with VTPM support



The current (old) vtpm implementation still sort of works. You have to
use xm and find a linux kernel with the tpmfront and tpmback drivers. I
believe the original xen 2.6.18 kernel has them. There may or may not be
newer kernels with these drivers.

docs/misc/vtpm.txt should have everything you need to use it.

That being said I'm in the process of submitting my new vtpm
implementation. So keep an eye on that activity if you're interested.
