I backported the arm64 kernel module TPM enablement for 3913: flatcar/scripts#1755
Should we do a rebuild for Beta 3913.1.0? Best would be to do this after merging flatcar/mantle#525 which I hope would fix the other test failure.

Edit: I think we don't need a rebuild for Beta as this is a new feature and it will be available in Alpha.

Is this file missing?

We were trying to optimize space usage by symlinking identical files but this didn't go fully as planned. We're going to get this resolved, but the signature would be the same as https://alpha.release.flatcar-linux.net/amd64-usr/3941.0.0/flatcar_production_image.vmlinuz.sig (download and rename to flatcar_production_pxe.vmlinuz.sig)

Thank you for your work and this temporary workaround!

Thanks for reporting, the signature creation worked for other symlinks (…qemu_image.img) but not for this pxe.vmlinuz file, need to find out why.

I hope I found the place: flatcar/scripts#1936
(Note: We have digest code in the common.sh, build_library and under ci-automation…)

We had 2 missing releases in Azure. The work to fix the automation in still in progress - but I was able to start the publishing process for the first missing version.
