Hi!
I have not seen a reply to my mail, but let me follow up.

It mentions a workaround, but what does it mean to:

sysctl -w kern.entropy.consolidate=1
I tried this "quick fix" and then was able to leave the laptop several
hours upgrading, so indeed it it solves the issue. I suppose this fix
needs to repeated at every boot?
The laptop eventually hang up, refusing login, keystrokes, ctrl-c or
else (but interestingly, console swapping worked, so keyboard input was
happening). Never seen something like this on this laptop, running
NetBSD (current) since years.
As written though, I do not have an Ivy Bridge, but an earlier system.
Any hints on a fix given this information? It is evidently CPU
dependant, but happens on more CPUs.
