I submitted a patch to the crypto mailing list that fixed the AESNI module so
it handles 256 bit keys
properly, I am not sure it was included on the 4.0 kernel (it was submitted for
the 3.20 kernel).
Previously, if you specified a 256 bit key, it would set the key properly, but
the AESNI (both SSE & AVX versions)
module would only do 10 rounds (instead of 14 like it is supposed to).
You would get the same failure as above if you didn't load the AESNI module
with an older kernel.
You may need to decrypt your disk with an older kernel, then re-encrypt it.
