Error from errors.log

Hi,

I just checked my error log and found this:

Jan 21 13:32:54 lb7 ata2: disabling port
Jan 21 13:32:54 lb7 hw_random: RNG not detected
Jan 21 13:32:59 lb7 udevd-event[2149]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-2/2-2.1/2-2.$Jan 21 13:56:32 lb7 ata2: disabling port
Jan 21 13:56:32 lb7 hw_random: RNG not detected

How do I 'fix'/troubleshoot this problem?

Sincerely, Jørgen

Following the first hit (http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2 … 00205.html) I got on google searching "hw_random: RNG not detected":

This just means the system tried to load the hw_random module, but since
your system doesn't have a built-in hardware rng it can't load it.

Re: Error from errors.log

To fix it, blacklist hw_random.
For example, if you use:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
in rc.conf, add hw_random to the MOD_BLACKLIST array.
