(In reply to Matthias Andree from comment #12)

I was doing a new install on a new vm instance when I got bitten by this. I
couldn't find anyway of stopping virtio_random loading, whilst also letting me
continue the install.

Tellingly, modifying module_blacklist at the boot prompt didn't work
(Presumably because it's loaded by devmatch not the normal kernel booting??
This should be addressed)

I ended up modifying and recreating the install ISO by deleting the
virtio_random.ko file from the distribution, and using that, which was a bit
convoluted.

Cheers
