Before I posted this I too read other posts on entropy but could not reliably say this was the cause at the time, or find determine how to fix it if it was. The article below gave me some things to look at and try (find /.) which I will test out shortly. Other articles I have read reference how to set it up. My setup seems to be similar to what I have seen. From the below article it is possible that I need to fill up the entropy pool. Are their other ways to do this aside from running find /.? Or examples of how to "tune" it (if possible). If this turns out to be the issue does anyone know what would have changed from 2.4 to 2.6 (which I know is a lot), but in regards to entropy?
