Hmmm, yes - the patch fixes the crashes, i.e. no more crashes with either sequence of module-loading, cat rng_available works as well, but...
Having this patch active rngd complains: rngd[1435]: rngd 2-unofficial-mt.13 starting up... rngd[1435]: block failed FIPS test: 0x1f rngd[1435]: block failed FIPS test: 0x1f ... rngd[1435]: stats: entropy added to kernel pool: 0 rngd[1435]: stats: FIPS 140-2 successes: 0 rngd[1435]: stats: FIPS 140-2 failures: 10
It doesn't do this without the patch. The only available rng was via, I did blacklist the others just to be sure.
