Ah, I didn't realize that I need to update initrd after I changed the
alghoritm. I didn't use cipher argument in /etc/crypttab and just
recreated LUKS volumen with another cipher. I was suprised that system
didn't boot because the standard initrd didn't contain basic modules.

I think that MODULES=most schema for initramfs *should* include the
four basic crypto modules and with MODULES=dep schema cryptsetup
scripts *should* guess with one is used.

Thank you.
