Maybe you should start with reading FAQ and archive, similar problem was here
just few weeks ago, please read this thread
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/8049

I think your system is just compiled with udev support but missing mandatory
device mapper udev rules (libdevmapper library and udev rules are part of lvm2 package,
cryptsetup depends on it).

Also please use new version (1.6.7) there were some bugfixes, 1.6.1 is pretty old version.

Please better always paste --debug log (which is sanitized), we need strace only
if requested (see FAQ).
