I must confess i find this kind of humourous... I'd just booted the system, in single user mode. I have just a serial console. This message popped out when i tried to run vi /etc/fstab: Entropy device is blocking. Dance fandango on keyboard to unblock. catch is, i'm stuck now... the vi process is blocked (load: 0.28 cmd: vi 167 [block] 0.00u 0.01s 0% 1256k) i can't ^C or anything. suggestions on what this might be? is this normal? I've never seen this before? I tried hitting keys on the serial for a while, but nothing happened. --don
