I cannot load the hw-random module. Can anyone give me advice on what to do. Thanks
I am running a standalone desktop Debian system ,version 2.4.27-2-386,
stable 3.1 release (Sarge) on the following machine:
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1500Hz stepping 07
Intell corp 82850 850 (Tehama) chipset
500 MB ram memory
On boot I get the following messages lines. These lines were not
included in the _dmesg_ or _syslog_ files but were hand copied to
include in this e-mail. The entire dmesg is included as an attachment.
Begin lines:
hw_random:misc device register failed
insmod:/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random.o:init_module:

insmod:Hint:insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
You may find more information is syslog or the output from dmesg
