• Version: 10.17.0 (however all Node.js versions with OpenSSL 1.1.1d seem to be affected)
• Platform: "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4"
  Linux frdgosdpdbs1 4.12.14-95.19-default deps: update openssl to 1.0.1j #1 SMP Tue Jun 11 11:04:48 UTC 2019 (a904a7f) ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
• Subsystem: crypto

I have observed an issue with Node.js versions using OpenSSL 1.1.1d on a ppc64le machine where the entropy cannot be initialized when calling randomBytes:

internal/crypto/random.js:118
if (ex) throw ex;
^

Error: error:2406C06E:random number generator:RAND_DRBG_instantiate:error retrieving entropy
at handleError (internal/crypto/random.js:117:14)
at Object.randomBytes (internal/crypto/random.js:52:19)

This behavior is observed directly after the Node.js application was started and after randomBytes was called.

It seems to be the same issue as reported here: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2019-September/287081.html
