I just noticed this on mine. Do you have the service urandom in the |
| 35 |
boot runlevel? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
root@smoker / # eselect rc list boot |
| 38 |
Init scripts to be started by runlevel boot |
| 39 |
bootmisc |
| 40 |
checkfs |
| 41 |
checkroot |
| 42 |
clock |
| 43 |
consolefont |
| 44 |
hostname |
| 45 |
keymaps |
| 46 |
localmount |
| 47 |
modules |
| 48 |
net.lo |
| 49 |
rmnologin |
| 50 |
serial |
| 51 |
urandom |
| 52 |
root@smoker / # |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
|

That may help. If it is there, try restarting it and see if you get any |
| 56 |
errors. Make sure you don't have anything important running just in |
| 57 |
case it stops other services when restarting this service. |
