luks partition header/meta overwrtten, data not recoverable.

Hi,

I was running lenny 32bit with an encrypted LVM setup.
I tried to install 64-bit.
I went through the installer, got to the partition section,
selected the correct partition and said "use as encrypted container",
then went to "configure encrypted volumes", it asked me for a
passphrase, I entered it.
Then it asked me to confirm, I entered again, suspicious.
Then I rebooted, encrypted disk is hosed. Appears empty.
pvck -d -v /dev/sda2 says it can't find an LVM label.

I suspect the installer did "
cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sda2"

So the previous partition header/metadata is lost.

Is there anyway to recover data from the disk?
