LUKS keyfile suddenly stoped to work

Hi,

i use luks encryption for my root and home partition. The passphrase related to the root-partition is typed in by hand while booting up. The passphrase used to decrypt the home-partition is stored in a key-file located at the root-partition. Since the last system update (kerne-packagel was also updated)  the system is unable to decrypt my home-partition. It says 'no key available with this passphrase'. ls -l says that the keyfile wasnt modified since long time. I also tried to luksOpen it using a live-cd but shows the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
smove
