For a long time disk drive geometries are a pure fiction and
illusion.  So even if BIOS reports some numbers they are just
some its inventions.

If you are booting something which already wrote some partition
table then "geometry" numbers should be whatever is recorded in
that table.  'fdisk' does that right; 'parted', which is apparently
used by the current 'anaconda', screws up.  Corollary: switch
to a text console, use 'fdisk' to create Linux partitions and
ignore warnings on the subject from anaconda.

I thought that there was already some bugzilla entry about that
but I do not have a number handy.
