That's more serious, then. That means something on your system is pulling a comparatively huge number of bits from the general-purpose kernel RNG instance, and nothing's putting enough bits into the pool to rekey it. Not much uses the kernel cprng on most systems. I haven't actually seen this message show up on a briefly-running system before. Thor
