Here’s a quick solution for this problem: http://trick77.com/2014/09/30/could-not-load-host-key-etcsshssh_host_ed25519_key/
According to this bug post it may indicate something went wrong with your openssh server install. I had this issue on a ubuntu box and a simple sudo apt-get install openssh-server --reinstall
recreated the missing keys under /etc/ssh/ and resolved the issue.
This is fine that you see this error.
To stop seeing this error, please comment out the following line in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
file:
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
