Starting from an unentangled initial state associated with the regular 'island' of classical phase space, it is demonstrated that the quantum resonance leads to entanglement generation, the chaotic parameter region results in the increase of the generation speed, and the symmetries of the initial probability distribution determine the final degree of entanglement. The entangled initial states are associated with the classical 'chaotic sea', which do not affect the final entanglement degree for the same initial symmetry.
