Or run a detacted screen session? whatever fits your bill as long as it's in the same time with the keygen process. it MIGHT also work if you do it earlier but I would not hold my breath. you can use any process at all that generates activity, even typing random letters on the keyboard should do. or download an iso. basically almost anything that generates activity is used by the kernel as a pool of entropy
