That's not a flaw in Rpi, that's a software bug in Linux/systemd. nitter.vloup.ch/JamiesonBecker/sโ€ฆ

@bsdphk @fanf I have no idea how that's systemd's fault that the hardware doesn't have good entropy available early on.

@dsilverstone @bsdphk It has a hardware RNG.

@fanf @bsdphk then presumably support for that simply needs adding to the kernel?

@dsilverstone @bsdphk Just needs a modprobe invocation early enough.

@fanf @bsdphk Presumably if it's not directly glued to the random pool, it'll also need hwrngd or similar?

@fanf @bsdphk Either way it's a RasPi platform integration issue; not a problem with Linux or systemd.

@dsilverstone @bsdphk I'm wondering if it used to work properly before systemd came along.

Replying to @fanf
@fanf @bsdphk All that'd imply is that systemd is (perhaps) booting more quickly or in a different order; which is still an integration bug.

@dsilverstone Root cause is stupid /dev/urandom rules, no?
