I can't reproduce this problem here.  I've created an encrypted
volume with 2.6.23 and it still decrypts correctly with the latest
upstream Linux kernel which has all the crypto updates.

So it looks like one of the other patches in mm that's causing
this.  Please try backing out any device mapper related changes
and see if things improve.

Thanks,
