Aranym also stalls here (for about 20 seconds). Adding initcall_debug to the kernel parameters reveals this: [ 0.620000] calling dh_init+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 2.560000] random: fast init done [ 24.030000] initcall dh_init+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 22861089 usecs The reason why my kernel builds don't pause here is because they don't call dh_init, because I have disabled CONFIG_CRYPTO_DH. I don't know why dh_init() is slow. Maybe it has to compute a public key. --
