Subject: Hardware random intel_rng broken in x86_64 mode on 2.6.18
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 14:26:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b270aae0610160526w66738ea6ud91aaad3a862170@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
the hwrandom with intel_rng seems to be broken at least on 2.6.18;
Chipset is an E7520 on a SE7520JR2 board; Dual Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz CPU
running in 64bit mode. The output of /dev/hw_random consists entirely
of '1's.
dmesg says:
Intel 82802 RNG detected
hexdump of the data:
0000000 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
Is this a known problem?
Cheers,
M
