I am unable to start Linux Openswan U2.4.5rc5/K2.6.3-7mdksecure (netkey).
[root at thispc jont]# service ipsec start
ipsec_setup: Starting Openswan IPsec 2.4.5rc5...
ipsec_setup: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdksecure/kernel/net/key/af_key.ko.gz
ipsec_setup: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdksecure/kernel/net/xfrm/xfrm_user.ko.gz
ipsec_setup: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdksecure/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random.ko.gz
ipsec_setup: FATAL: Error inserting hw_random 
(/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdksecure/kernel/drivers/char/hw_random.ko.gz): No 
such device

What does this mean? The file exists. Am I really missing a piece of 
hardware?

Any ideas where I should look next?
