Does anyone know what exactly creates these device nodes and why it
could fail?
Some kernel option?

grep RANDOM /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=y
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_INTEL=y
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_AMD=y
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_GEODE=y
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIA=y

No, I think they are for special hardware randoem generators only. I don't heve those enabled in my .config.

I don't have those either.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # grep RANDOM /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_HW_RANDOM is not set

Not sure where that device comes from.  I do have them on my system tho.
