Thaks you for your bugreport!

The problem seems to be recent kernels tagging more devices as input 
devices - devices that are unusable to type in passphrases to enable 
encrypted filesystems, so irrelevant for yeard. I have not yet found a 
sane way to suppress those irrelevant entries.

A workaround is to disable the INPUT module.

If you use encrypted filesystems somewhere below the root mountpoint, 
you then need explicitly enable needed modules instead.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
