I get a similar warning on an older machine but the warning is not about being unable to find the module hw_random.ko. Instead the warning is about being unable to find the hardware random number generator that hw_random.ko supports. I assume the machine does not have such a thing ..
Are you sure that it cannot find hw_random.ko ?
See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/hw_random.txt.
Hmm, you're right. I didn't pay attention in detail to the message; I thought the system simply couldn't find the module. Here's the error message from /var/log/boot.msg: modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting hw_random (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24.10-smp/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random.ko): No such device Do you know exactly what hardware it's looking for? Because gx280 is a fairly newer model (P4 3GHz with HT). -- Regards, Verdi
