Fedora Core 2 not playing well with Windows XP
partitions?
It turns out that the bug (#115980) is a result of a
few subtle but key changes within the 2.6 kernel. A
certain functionality with regards to hard disk
geometry has been pulled out, as the kernel developers
thought it would be better if userspace utilities took
care of this instead. The Bugzilla bug is related to
CHS geometry problems, which most likely stems from an
error within the parted utility, addressing the BIOS
incorrectly. It turns out that BIOS updates tend to
fix problems for many users that have been bitten by
this "bug". On newer machines, this is basically
non-reproducible.
