Bug#1117589: Regression: System Hangs at Boot Until Key Press

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I case it can be helpful, based on the description in the BTS so far, I
just wanted to point out another possible cause for boot hangs: Lack of
entropy.  In Debian Edu a long time ago, the installation would hang
until we started pressing keys (aka try to debug the situation), and
after a lot of dead ends we located it to lack of entropy in the kernel
when setting up a Kerberos server.  See
<URL: http://www.hungry.com/~pere/blog/Fixing_an_hanging_debian_installer_for_Debian_Edu.html >
for some details if this is useful.
