[Solved]Zombie task random-seed

Hello,

I have recently installed Archlinux on my laptop, and I have found that on the four cores of my processor, one of them is constantly running at 100%. With htop I found that it is a zombie task that I can't sigterm or sigkill : bootctl random-seed --gracefull. I tried to found a topic about stopping zombie tasks but I didn't found it.
Maybe I could stop it when or right after the computer boots?
I would appreciate any help or link explaining me how to get rid of this task.

Ps : it is not always on the same core, it changes from time to time.

I tried to found a topic about stopping zombie tasks but I didn't found it.

It's asked on stackoverflow about once a week or so…
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/169 … ie-process

The process seems to stem from systemd-boot-system-token.service
