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)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 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)
