Ok, I rebooted once and the entropy caching did not work. Changed entropy_file to point to /var/db/entropy, rebooted. Did not work. Commented out the entropy_file setting and rebooted... And it worked. Rebooted 5 times, worked every time. Laptop is working now. cvsup'd my desktop, ran mergemaster and it worked for 3 reboots...

I need logs.

What is "did not work"?

What is "it worked"?

What was the line you commented out?

What are the other things that your eye/brain are filtering out that I need to
see in copious detail?

Now, the problem I am seeing is that not only do I get the same fortunes between reboots, but it is _always_ the same one:

"Be ALERT (the world needs more lerts"

has shown up first nearly every time for the past week. Waiting a few minutes to log in has no effect... Still the same one. Now I'm no expert on randomness and the like, but surely this can't be very random.

I'll be eating my words tonight, but I swear it wasn't working for me :) (and yes i had the latest rc files).

I am not seeing this, and I am unable to reproduce it.

i terefore need better info than "it is so" to do anything about it.

Please get a complete log of the boot process (put a set -x in /etc/rc while you are about it) and get that over to me.
