I just noticed this on mine. Do you have the service urandom in the
boot runlevel?

root@(protected)
Init scripts to be started by runlevel boot
bootmisc
checkfs
checkroot
clock
consolefont
hostname
keymaps
localmount
modules
net.lo
rmnologin
serial
urandom
root@(protected) / #


That may help. If it is there, try restarting it and see if you get any
errors. Make sure you don't have anything important running just in
case it stops other services when restarting this service.
