Question insmod hw_random fails after upgrade


I recently upgraded my system from Slackware 9.1 to 10.0, and now get an error repeated about 20 times in my bootup messages just before rc.local gets run. I can't put the exact message here since I'm having framebuffer problems and can't go back and copy them, but it's something along the lines of insmod failing to load hw_random.o. dmesg shows the following:

Code:
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
hw_random: misc device register failed
It's not affecting anything as far as I can tell, but I'm curious what's causing it.

Thanks.

Once again I spoke too soon. This was resolved after another kernel recompile.
