Comment 4 for bug 48055

I can confirm with the 2007-02-22 daily build, 200GB SATA Hard drive, Athlon 64+. I encounter this error on the live cd while running qtparted (from the menu, and threw the partitioning utility in the Ubiquity).
qtparted v0.4.5-cvs
 feisty-desktop-amd64.iso 22-Feb-2007 06:33 703M Desktop CD for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download)

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 24321.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
