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
