I am virtualizing with KVM via libvirt and virt-manager. To have decent amounts of Entropy in the guest, I tried loading virtio_rng in a running VM. Despite the module being loaded, I didn't get any log entries, and also no /dev/hwrng.
Do I need to enable the virtualized random generator in libvirt/virt-manager? If so, how do I do that? Is the support for this rather recent feature already implemented in qemu-kvm 1.0, libvirt 0.9.12 and virt-manager 0.9.1?
No host side support for this exists in QEMU/KVM yet

Ah, I see. Thanks for the quick answer. Sad news though. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
