Sounds like this bug (which is closed and archived):

Which version of yaird are you using? You probably should upgrade yaird
or switch to mkinitrd from initrd-tools.

so, what is in /proc/bus/input/devices? 

mine has that same line (sid here). is yaird fully up-to-date? What
kernel are you *running* while building this ramdisk? And, have you
tried another initrd builder?
