Bug description:
  I installed lucid from CD on a spare laptop.  I chose the "Use entire
  disk" option.

  The problem is that the created partition cannot be read by cfdisk:

  # cfdisk /dev/sda
               FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder
                                          Press any key to exit cfdisk
