It is possible for tboot to extend kernel and initrd into dynamic PCRs in an 
untrusted boot on a TPM enabled machine, tboot is BSD-licensed open source 
project, any contribution to it is welcome!

Subject: [tboot-devel] Fallback launch to SRTM?

I recently got tboot working on a TXT enabled laptop and set about installing 
it on another more recent laptop. Unfortunately it turns out that my new laptop 
doesn't have TXT.

Looking at the code for tboot, it seems it just launches Linux normally without 
any measurements in that case. Since tboot already has all the code for 
measuring the kernel and initrd etc, would it be possible to make the fallback 
launch one that at least extends measurements of the kernel and initrd into 
PCRs on TPM enabled machines?

The alternative is trustedgrub{,2} but that doesn't work with UEFI and I'd like 
to be able to have a UEFI boot due to being able to install my own platform key 
and performing signed boots only.
