SCOM2007R2 : not enough entropy when installed Linux Agent
Here the error message :

There are two ways to solve this problem, you can recreate the /dev/random file or do a manual agent install.
For both fixes, clean off the partially installed agent using the commands
- rpm -e scx
- rm -rf /etc/opt/microsoft/scx
Then if you want to make it so that discovery will work from the wizard use the commands
- rm /dev/random
- mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 9
- chown root:root /dev/random
A manual install requires copying the appropriate package from %Program Files%\System Center Operations Manager 2007\AgentManagement\UnixAgents to the Unix\Linux machine and installing it directly.
After fixing the install issue, switch the /dev/random file back to a signed random file using the commands:
- rm /dev/random
- mknod -m 644 /dev/random c 1 8
- chown root:root /dev/random
