anaconda_entropy_2_count
This is perfectly normal. Depending on what's happening on the system the entropy pool may not increase linearly. It displays more than 100% because it has exceeded the minimal amount needed to setup luks encryption. |
Created attachment 1144172 [details] anaconda_entropy_1_count Description of problem: When you press random keys during the entropy generation in text install, the entropy decreases several times (see screenshot) and also goes over 100% Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-21.48.22.56-1.el7.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: at all text installs Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a RHEL 7 with anaconda-21.48.22.56-1 (I did it via kickstart file and PXE) 2. wait for anaconda to ask for the entropy 3. press random keys on the keyboard Actual results: percentage jumps up and down and gets over 100% Expected results: percentage should only go up and stop when reached 100% Additional info:
