I doubt it.  It's okay for genrandom to run for a few minutes
at startup to generate some randomness to fill the random pool.
It runs at a low priority, so if something else were trying to run,
it would get to run.

Something else is wrong, though I'm not sure what.
Perhaps the vmware tools hang the machine now.
Or perhaps vga is not working.  Try entering "none"
for the mouse and monitor and vga size.
