Restoring HDIO_GETGEO semantics

By any chance is the the same bug that is causing FC2's installer
to trash dual booting to Windows?https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115980
If it is, it is causing an ever living nightmare out in the FC2
world. The above link has zillions of painfully documented
technical experiences, with work-a-rounds, that may help in troubleshooting this problem. I personally am holding off on upgrading to FC2 until bug 115980 is fixed: I can not afford to get my Windows partitions trashed (I know, the partition are okay, I just can not boot to them).

If not, maybe bug 115980 will have something else of help.
Yes, Fedora, SUSE, Mandrake, new Debian install, etc virtually everybody has this problem but since there are many bugs in parted it manifests different way so it's indeed pretty confusing (people look for _the_ bug but there are many).
