Device Information

• Framework Laptop 16 (AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series)

BIOS VERSION

03.05 (INSYDE, dated 03/13/2026)

Describe the bug

Slow boot time due to TPM initialization delays.
During system startup, the TPM-related devices (tpmrm0.device, tpm0.device, etc.) take ~9.6 seconds to initialize, significantly increasing the overall boot time. This is confirmed by systemd-analyze blame, where TPM devices are the top offenders.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Boot the system (cold or warm boot).
2. After login, run: systemd-analyze blame | head -n 10
3. Observe that TPM-related devices (dev-tpmrm0.device, dev-tpm0.device, etc.) consistently appear at the top with ~9.6s initialization time.
4. Check dmesg for TPM logs: ` sudo dmesg | grep -i tpm

Expected behavior

TPM initialization should complete faster than in < 9 seconds,

Operating System (please complete the following information):

• OS/Distribution: CachyOS (Arch Linux-based)
• Version: Rolling release (up-to-date as of 2026-05-05)
• Linux Kernel Version: 7.0.3-1-cachyos
