Indeed. Did you configure any entropy sources using rndcontrol(8)? If not, try doing vmstat -i and configure those IRQs which have a decent rate. Be sure _not_ to use those associated with clk* and rtc*. This is on a system here: # vmstat -i interrupt total rate clk0 irq0 173824877 99 rtc0 irq8 222501722 128 pci irq10 26115597 15 pci irq11 17550519 10 pci irq5 115171 0 fdc0 irq6 1 0 Total 440107887 253 # rndcontrol rndcontrol: interrupts in use: 10 11 # Here, ``gpg --gen-key'' works fine.
