From 51b001909f1856c45cf87091d6e4446c266d5786 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 22:10:21 +0100 Subject: runqemu: Enable virtio RNG for all platforms We have problems where systems simply stop booting and hang. This is due to a lack of entropy which means ssh keys and networking can't be brought up. Adding in the virtio-rng passthrough support allows host entropy to pass into the guess and avoids these hangs. This is particularly problematic after the gnutls upgrade which starts using /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom but was an issue we'd occasionally seem before that. It particualrly affected x86 and ppc machines for some reason.
