*** Bug 130368 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This will get created by udev in the near future. A check for the device node is in initscripts-7.64-1. The check will never succeed AFAICT, because it checks for a regular file, not a character device. In current rc.sysinit, this test is: #[ -x /sbin/rngd -a -c /dev/hw_random ] && rngd ... which looks correct, except for the fact that it's commented out! This is a major loss for a hwrng-equipped server. rngd hangs if the hw_random device exists (the module is loaded) but there isn't any specific hw RNG backend. Behavior like that isn't really appropriate in rc.sysinit. :) Just a note: see bug #215371 for related discussion. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux; X11; en_US, en_US.UTF-8, en) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: During boot rc.sysinit calls rngd which produces an error stating that hw_random cannot be found. Should there be a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/random? This is mentioned in /etc/readahead.early.files! If hw_random module is started there is no error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-utils-2.4-12.1.142 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install kernel-utils-2.4-12.1.142 2.reboot 3. Additional info:
