"Intel_RNG: FWH not detected"

[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I get that message during boot under, "Loading hardware drivers..........." What does this mean? I've done some googling on the matter and there are others with the same problem. It seems to be related to the latest kernel. I wasn't able to decipher what anyone was talking about however. Any ideas?

It simply means you do not have the hardware for using Intel’s hardware-based “true” random number generator (specifically a firmware hub no longer in production). So just stop the said module from being loaded on boot (instructions vary depending on distro). If you really want a tRNG in chips being currently produced, check out VIA’s C series and Eden series processors (whose corresponding chipsets come with a random number generator). I’m sure there are also add-in cards available somewhere.
