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.
