It would be good to know which partition it is failing on, and why/how.
You can use gdb like this to find out:

        # libtool gdb parted
        (gdb) break exception_handler
        (gdb) run /dev/hda
        (parted) print
        (gdb) up
        (gdb) up
        [repeat until you get to probe_partition_for_geom]
        (gdb) print ped_partition_print(part)
        (gdb) print c,h,s,a,a_
        (gdb) print C,H,S,A,A_
        (gdb) print head_size

Thanks!
