    So it seems that the 2.6.x geometry code breaks dual booting, since
    Windows wants "sane" CHS values. See the thread on slashdot, or
    http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html

    Although Fedora Core is current taking grief for this, it's really a
    2.6.x kernel problem AFAICT.

    Has anybody taken the time to hunt down the csets that cause this
    massive partition table breakage? If so, it will save me some time
    tracking this down.
