help mount encrypted partition raid member

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me get my root vol mounted again using a FC live / install disk.

In moving to a new system I mistakenly turned off my old workstation (FC14) ... bad idea disks were up quite a while.

My system is configured with two ~400 G disks each disk was split into 3 partitions boot, swap, root
each of boot and root were made into raid1 sets.

I can boot the FC14 live CD and it sees my second hard disk (i've removed the disk on controller 0 - its the hosed disk)

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x0008e141



   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda1   *          63     2104514     1052226   fd  Linux raid autodetect

/dev/sda2         2104515     4209029     1052257+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

/dev/sda3         4209030   625137344   310464157+  fd  Linux raid autodetect

This is promising .. I then follow some other guides on the forums and try to use cryptsetup as follows

Code:

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 crypt1

This results in the following

Code:

Enter passphrase for /dev/sda3: 

[   301.1037931] device-mapper: table: 253:2: crypt: Device lookup failed

device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument

Failed to setup dm-crypt key mapping for device /dev/sda3. 

Check that kernel supports aes-xts-plain64 cipher (check syslog for more info).

Faild to read from key storage.

I have also verified that the LUKS partion info should be valid

Code:

hexdump -C -n 512 /dev/sda3

I can mount the /dev/sda1 partition just fine .. and I have pulled off the grub.conf file shown below

Code:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda

#

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file

# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that

#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

#          root (hd1,0)

#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/luks-f979edfb-e646-48ae-80b4-89025401f001

#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img

#boot=/dev/sda

I have also tried using an ubuntu live disk .. others had good luck with that.
When I tried basically the same sequence I got a password key not found error from the cryptsetup step.

I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help
Other options I've thought of are trying to get grub to boot this disk

thanks .. kpf
