Hi,

On a new Core2 Duo MacBook Pro, 2.6.19-rc5 fails to detect the 82802
RNG with this message:

intel_rng: FWH not detected

Though it worked in 2.6.18:

Intel 82802 RNG detected


This is an x86_64 kernel booted via good old lilo, so using the
BootCamp BIOS emulation provided by Apple.

Tell me what kind of info you need to address this issue, here's the
lspci output for a start:
