Did your installatione create the host key files?

If not try the following (as root):

# Create host keys if needed.
if [ ! -r /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ]; then
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
fi
if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key ]; then
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ''
fi
if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key ]; then
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ''
fi
