GnuTLS uses /dev/random, so I guess your kernel for whatever reason
does not give enough entropy.

Two solutions:
1) Provide entropy running "find / -name "*" -exec cat {} \;",
clicking with your mouse, doing network activity, listening to music
etc..
2) *insecure advice* except for local install: if your prelude
installation is local, rm /dev/random && ln -s /dev/urandom
/dev/random

Those are not solutions I would take for production though, but maybe
it can help you to test your installation.


Hope this helps,
Sebastien.
