Here is the workaround. I don't know what the fix is. I was never able to get systemd to enable the service (or subsequently start the service). Nothing I attempted would get the service out of the "generated" status.
$ cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. if [ -e /usr/sbin/rngd ]; then /usr/sbin/rngd -r /dev/hwrng -f fi exit 0
