I still have yet to reproduce the problem. If you have a way to reliably reproduce it and are willing to test, there's some work going on in upstream parted to try to make it a non-issue. As it stands right now, I'm following the discussion and it seems sane, but I can't do much in the way of testing. If I have someone who can reproduce and who will test, it's easy enough for me to make an updates.img with an updated libparted that will get used. > I've seen > solutions that use the legacy EDD information to change the heads to > 255/240, although I haven't been able to determine which disks to > perform this on.

It definitely doesn't at all feel robust to me. Jeremy
