there is an Asus configuration issue (according to different posts here and also in internet) when main issue is ASUS motherboards BIOS malfunction in TPM mode selection.
Base of the issue is not fTPM "stuttering" as many people have here and there, but mobos BIOS inability to save/stay on configured discrete TPM.
I tried different BIOS versions from 6048, 6203, 6237 beta - none of them does not fix it.
IE machine boots > and BIOS sets itself to fTPM -then UEFI M2 drive is not seen, regardless of whatsoever.
So to get boot, one have to enter BIOS fist, set fTPM > discrete TPM > save settings and reboot again, but now -have enter to BIOS second time and set Linux UEFI to default boot device.
F10 Save - here bios tells as no changes have made - while boot order is changed and only now, can machine see M2 drives GRUB2 boot menu for dual boot options.
I have older, rog strix X370 AM4 board with 5800 ryzen on it. Processor was and bios was changed while ago. Issue just started one day.
This is not about BIOS battery -it's fresh nor about fast-boot.
I know that issue is present at least on 4xxx and 5xxx chips on AMD and intel boards too.
Least to say is -Asus looks like unwilling to make it's BIOS to work and save settings properly.
As told in different posts here already - do Asus support it's products and will fix BIOS issues or should users just vote with legs and choose some other vendors who still are willing to listen customer issues and can fix issues for them?
