>Description:
I just experienced a crash involving the rnd (randomness source)
device. I'm afraid this is only from memory as I didn't get a crash
dump (machine was just hanging with no activity, upon reboot no dump).
The last I saw was something along the lines of
panic: pr_enter ... in rnd.c
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
splxxx() somewhere missing?
