I get the randomness provider message on all boots.. If I do not have a Suspended to Disk XP session (ie. I do a full shutdown of XP) then the OSOL boots fine. Just happens to be the point it stops in the boot process, or at least stops close to the next thing in the boot process...
I am staying on a vanilla 2008.05 install for the moment, for other reasons. Brad andrew wrote: > Do you get the "no randomness provider" message when booting without Windows > hibernated?
