You're saying "an old opensuse live cd". So I assume, that it hasn't
already kernel 2.6.31?

Maybe you should try it with a live cd which already has kernel 2.6.31,
if there is any released. It probably is a bug in ext4 in 2.6.31 which
wasn't present in 2.6.30. It's not likely, but with ext3 I don't have
this issue.

I guess you already have reinstalled the kernel and/or cryptsetup just
in case?

If this also doesn't help, I guess someone else who has better
knowledge of this than me - should be easy to find ;-) - could
try to help.
