Hi, I'm having a problem with disk encryption using luks. I have
my /home disk (on a separate disk 'sdb') encrypted using luks.

I have this in /etc/cryptsetup
home            /dev/sdb1               ASK

and this in /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/home /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 1

Suddenly today, it won't accept the passphrase on boot. I'm sure that
I'm entering it correctly. It took me 32 tries the first time and many
more the second reboot after kernel 2.6.31.3 update.

I don't really know what's happening right now. However, you should comment out that crypttab line, mark /home as noauto in fstab, boot your system and try unlocking there manually. That way, it will be much easier to investigate the problem.
