'(38)Function not implemented: AH00141: Could not initialize random number generator

I recently upgrade my Debian server from Debian 10 (Buster) to Debian 11 (Bullseye).

Apache2 was upgrade to the 2.4.52-1~deb11u2 version.

Since that, I can't start Apache2...

I got the error:

(38)Function not implemented: AH00141: Could not initialize random number generator

I reinstalled apache2, but got the same error.

I also tried How to fix '(38)Function not implemented: AH00141: Could not initialize random number generator' after upgrading Apache from 2.4.18 to 2.4.46? but it doesn't work.

Thanks !

Try upgrading your kernel.

After spinning up a new server in a cloud I have naturally upgraded all dependencies including the kernel before installing new ones. But I forgot to reboot the instance so it was still running on its default kernel from 2016.

After reboot everything resumed to work normally.

This thread pointed me to the right way.
