Don't write to the device in that state. You'll going to destroy data!

This is the output if you've the right key, but you're using a different
IV (Initialisation Vector) calculation. IV handling differs between 2.2
intern. patch, 2.4 intern. patch and 2.4 hvr int. patch. The only way
would be a backup with the old method and restore to a drive using the
new software version (probably having mcrypt somewhere in the backup
pipe ;-)
