I have the same problem while trying to install breezy. It's advised not to use grub for
XFS partitions, so I choose to use lilo instead. But lilo fails with the following:

"""
Device 0x0300: Inconsistent partition table, 1st entry
  CHS address in PT: 965:1:1 --> LBA (972783)
  LBA address in PT: 14590863 --> CHS (14475:1:1)
Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified
If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore)
"""

I tried with 'lilo -P ignore', but it failed with:

"""
Device 0x0300: Inconsistent partition table, 1st entry
  CHS address in PT: 965:1:1 --> LBA (972783)
  LBA address in PT: 14590863 --> CHS (14475:1:1)
The partition table is *NOT* being adjusted.
Fatal: Filesystem would be destroyed by LILO boot sector: /dev/hda1
"""

Is it safe to try 'lilo -P fix', or is it possible that something would break? (I have
important information on other partitions)
