prng.a1d3da The prng module cannot start in SHA-512 mode

Explanation

The pseudo-random number device driver was loaded with the mode= module parameter or the prng.mode= kernel parameter set to 2. This setting forces SHA-512 mode, but the required support for MSA 5 is not available. This support requires an IBM zEnterprise EC12 (zEC12) or later mainframe.

User response

If your mainframe is earlier than zEC12, set the mode= module or prng.mode= kernel parameter to 0 or 1 to run the pseudo-random number device driver in triple DES mode. Otherwise, ensure that MSA 5 support available.
