Getting this error PRNG not seeded when I try to start sshd. I looking in this forum and ...

Both random and urandom exist and look fine to me. (for what that's worth)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

It can fail tempoparily if there is not enough entropy in the system. Does that happens everytime or just sometimes? Do you have /etc/init.d/random (or urandom) initscript? Was it started?

It happens every time with all VEs on that host. The HE works though.

I am using a new motherboard that I never used before and because it's new I had to compile the 2.6.26 git kernel - that might be a factor. I had forgot about that. Although this machine is running entirely off of a USB flash drive so I might be able to use the standard kernel. This motherboard won't read SATA drives with the 2.6.24 kernel.

It was the new kernel. I get it working with the 2.6.24 kernel. Sorry I forgot to mention the kernel.

I have created a bug for this: http://bugzilla.openvz.org/925

Could we move the discussion to that bug report?

Also, we need
(1) your kernel .config
(2) top git changeset of your kernel (git log | head -n 1)
