For the archive:

this fail is because SLED10 (2.6.16.60-0.21-default kernel) contains broken dm-crypt module.

It seems this upstream patch is missing
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=37af6560f7978c60791b5f3df17ce8b3e97f2d6e

it causes device-mapper table status to incorrectly prints cipher this way:
0 65536 crypt cbc(aes)-cbc-essiv:sha256 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0 7:0 0

The correct form is
0 65536 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0 7:0 0

So cryptsetup cannot work properly with this kernel.
