Looking at the init script it seems like if the character |
| 17 |
device /dev/urandom does not exist, it exits directly. |

Does anyone know what exactly creates these device nodes and why it could |
| 20 |
fail? |
| 21 |
You could try to create them manually, but I doubt that this helps: |
| 22 |
mknod /dev/random c 1 8 |
| 23 |
mknod /dev/urandom c 1 9 |
| 24 |

Kayshal, do you remember doing anything spoecial before this happened? |
| 26 |
Booting a new kernel, updating things like hotplug / udev stuff? |
