In your current kernel configuration file (i.e., linux-2.6.16.33-xen/.config) you should set

CONFIG_XEN_TPMDEV_BACKEND=m

and then recompile using 'make install' for example in xen-unstable.hg. Afterwards a 'modprobe tpmbk' should work.

----------> I have compiled the xen kernel again and made 'modprobe tpmbk' but in the vtpm_managerd it gives the same error again.

dungeon linux-2.6.16.29-xen # vtpm_managerd
INFO[VTPM]: Starting VTPM.
INFO[TCS]: Constructing new TCS:
ERROR[TXDATA]: TPM open failedERROR in VTPM_Init_Manager at vtpm_manager.c:205 code: TPM_IOERROR.
ERROR[VTPM]: Closing vtpmd due to error during startup

But when I shutdown the trousers, the behaviour of the vtpm_managerd changes:

dungeon burak # vtpm_managerd
INFO[VTPM]: Starting VTPM.
INFO[TCS]: Constructing new TCS:
INFO[TCS]: Calling TCS_OpenContext:

ERROR in VTSP_CreateWrapKey at vtsp.c:557 code: TPM_AUTHFAIL.

I have checked that after modprobing the tpmbk there created vtpm device.

dungeon linux-2.6.16.29-xen # ll /dev/vtpm
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 225 Ara  5 17:57 /dev/vtpm

Also it does not modprobe the tpm_xenu

dungeon burak # modprobe tpm_xenu
FATAL: Error inserting tpm_xenu (/lib/modules/2.6.16.29-xen/kernel/drivers/char/tpm/tpm_xenu.ko): Operation not permitted


What will be the problem?

Thanks again

Best Regards..
