Hello,
I’m experiencing boot failures with PCR 15 validation after updating openSUSE Tumbleweed. The system stops at boot with these errors:
ERROR: the validation of PCR 15 failed
ERROR: Missing measure-pcr-prediction file
Use ‘measure-pcr-validator.ignore=yes’ in cmdline to bypass the check
*** The system will be halted. Press any key …
System details:
- openSUSE Tumbleweed 20260209
- Kernel: 6.18.9-1.1
- Boot: systemd-boot
- Updated packages include: sdbootutil-1+git20260206.54f4a16-1.1
What I’ve tried:
- First update caused the issue (between Feb 6-11, 2026)
- Rolled back via Snapper snapshot - system boots fine
- Updated again today (Feb 11) - same PCR 15 error occurs
- The sdbootutil updates from Feb 6 are included but don’t resolve the issue
Is this a known issue with the current snapshot and are there additional fixes in progress? Should I wait or disable PCR validation as a Workaround?
I don’t have FDE with TPM enrollment (I get “WARNING: /etc/sysconfig/fde-tools not found” during updates), but I’d prefer to keep PCR validation working for security reasons.
Thanks for any guidance!
