RE: Hardware random on Dell PE SC1425
Have you tried compiling it in and typing dmesg, checking the output
when it loads and then try the rng-tools?

Subject: Hardware random on Dell PE SC1425
Hi all,
I've recently bought a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 and I've built a kernel
with the hardware random module (hw_random or hwrandom as it's sometimes
called). The module loads and the device files get created, but I can't
read anything from the device file at all (it just hangs). I've also
installed rng-tools and tried starting the entropy gatherer but this
fails.
Am I missing something obvious? How can I get hardware random number
generation working?
The server has a Xeon chip and an Intel chipset.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
