If A=Z/2, then A^Z is a compact abelian group. A `linear cellular automaton' is a shift-commuting endomorphism F of A^Z. If P is a probability measure on A^Z, then F `asymptotically randomizes' P if F^j P converges to the Haar measure as j-->oo, for j in a subset of Cesaro density one. Via counterexamples, we show that nonzero entropy of P is neither necessary nor sufficient for asymptotic randomization.
