ACM failure on power-cycling node These are very likely to be OEM BIOS bugs - if you escalate to your server OEM, they can create fixes. We started testing TXT on enterprise clients almost 10 years ago. It took a while for OEMs (Dell, Lenovo, HP) to roll out TXT fixes, but they all did

On TXT-enabled vPro client devices (e.g. Dell 7040) that have been tested with OpenXT, Xen and OpenEmbedded measured launch [1], if you use the hardware power switch to perform a non-graceful shutdown of an operating system that was booted with TXT, the following will occur: (a) User presses

If those messages were from the platform itself, it is better to follow the instructions to restart the system, as the BIOS detected something wrong with the platform to do a TXT boot. No modifications are needed from TXT SINIT, TPM, tboot for this situation. This issue is vendor specific, just
