One more - which appears to work for me in generating DNSSEC signatures.... just fills up /dev/random (and I've no idea if this will help?)
Install the 'haveged' package, www.irisa.fr/caps/projects/hipsor Software that reads random stuff from your CPU. Not as good as real Hardware Entropy devices but its free. There is also a handful of USB 'stick/memory' looking devices that one can purchase.
