Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and remove the final two lines that read:
# Feed entropy into the entropy pool
/etc/rc.d/init.d/random start
They're issued earlier in the script, causing the double messages.
If any Mandrake development people are reading, there's also a small
buglet that causes a message "/etc/sysconfig/i18n not found" to be
issued during bootup. From looking at the rc.sysinit script, it looks
like the line that reads:
. /etc/sysconfig/i18n
should be wrapped in an if statement, or have that sourcing depend upon
having foreign language support installed (I assume that's what would
install the i18n file).
