Not specifically, but I just checked one of my SLES9 SP3 s390x systems:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2944

My system is fairly idle.  What are you running on your system?

Hi,

   I tried to use gpg today to generate a pgp key on SLES9x.  The
process
hangs while reading from /dev/random (which is lacking entropy).  Hasn't
this whole /dev/random (and /dev/urandom) thing been beaten to death?
Does
anyone else use gpg on s390x?

Cheers,
Arty
