The problem was that in CentOS the tpm_dis driver is integrated into the kernel and it was not loaded by default. I have added the following keywords to the kernel load line in the bootloader: tpm_tis.force=1 Now the /dev/tpm0 device appears in the virtual machine and the TSS library loads correctly. Thanks! Jordi.
