so how did you create the initrd? mkinitrd doesn't have cryptsetup
support so far, but as far as i know, yaird does.

please try to create your initrd with yaird, and tell us whether that
fixes the problem. best would be to write a short howto about how to
create a useful initrd with yaird or initramfs.
