Yes, but ... how do I get this fixed (who do I nag or whatever)?
There is a bugzilla report on this but with the idea that Fedora wants to push
stuff upstream as much as possible, I cannot see nagging the Red Hat
developers as being productive (they are busy trying to pull all of the
packages together for FC2). Should I contact Andrew Clausen directly?
I do believe that this is an important bug to fix. While I have figured out
how to work around it using the hdx=cyl,heads,sectors kernel parameter, a lot
of users will get real confused if this is exacerbated by a partition table
initially created by Win2k or WinXP.
