Thinkpad X60,
model name	: Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2400  @ 1.83GHz
pavel@amd:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
8.10

I already posted some dmesg snippets, but system boots. On _this_
boot, it was ok, and I do not see anything:

pavel@amd:/data/l/linux-next-32$ dmesg | grep urandom
pavel@amd:/data/l/linux-next-32$
