This is in regard to machines running Fully updated F31 and getting
Kernel tainted errors and tpm2-abrmd errors on a recurring basis.

Is this a 5.4 kernel? And does the Computer have Secure Boot enabled?
Could be this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1777072#c2

Reported to be fixed in 5.4.7. If you're using that you'll need to be
more specific about what's causing the taint.
sudo journalctl -b | grep -i taint

And tpm stuff is a known bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1769215




I'm not running secure boot. I'm running kernel 5.4.8 since first thing
this morning. Here's the grep result:

grep -i taint Taint-TMP-Journal.txt
Jan 10 12:54:38 localhost.localdomain kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 9713 Comm:
tpm2-abrmd Not tainted 5.4.8-200.fc31.x86_64 #1

I was getting the kernel tainted error right along with 5.4.7. I've been
using that PC today just to see what happens. I just checked and I
haven't gotten any more of the kernel tainted errors, but I'm still
getting the tpm2 errors. I just checked the screen shots I made of the
Details pages in Problem Reporter and it shows I was running
5.4.8-200.fc31_x86-64. The taint error is "E - Unsigned module has been
loaded".

Anything out of tree or unsigned taints the kernel. This might have a
better chance of finding out what's causing it:

journalctl -b | grep -i -B4 taint

Usually the message right before the message "tainting kernel" will
say what module and what the issue is, or maybe it's on the same line.



NEWS!!!:

I think this might have been a leftover from 5.4.7.

This morning after I did the upgrade that got me to 5.4.8 I did a restart and when I looked, I found the kernel tainted error, but as I have been using that PC all day that error has not reoccurred. I just did another restart and then I ran:

journalctl -b | grep -i -B4 taint

and got no response at all. Could it be that during the restart I did this morning right after the upgrade that there was at some point enough of 5.4.7 around to cause the error, but the id had been changed to 5.4.8?



The tpm2-abrmd errors are continuing at a frantic pace. there is constant hard disk activity. I'm guessing from the errors being logged about every 3 seconds. I verified that secure boot is not enabled in the UEIF/BIOS.

Is there a way to turn off tpm2-abrmd or tpm2 in general or will things I need break? I've been thinking that I should revert the users PCs to F30. Any advice or thoughts are welcome.


	Have a Great Day!
