I have recompiled my cyrus implementation (--with-devrandom=/dev/urandom) and my kernel with no luck.
I reboot from the newest 2.4 kernel and my pop clients hang. When checking the 2.6 kernel I looked at /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail and saw that it very low (like 5-30, not sure on specifics).
Is there something I am not doing right with either the kernel or cyrus?

That doesn't have to do anything with anything.

No. You should use --with-devrandom=/dev/urandom.
