Description of problem:
When I choose to edit a chunk of Free Space in the <1024 range into /boot, it
says `Could not allocated requested partitions: partitioning failed: could not
allocated cylinder-based partitions as primary partitions, even though `Force to
be a primary partition' was not checked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make up some 40MB of free space in the <1024 cylinder range with parted or
something alike
2.in the text-mode disk druid, select that Free Space and type ENTER
3.choose ext3, go back to the mount point and enter /boot, then ok
	

Actual Results:  It displays the error message above.

Expected Results:  It should turn the chunk of free space into the selected
partition

Additional info:

After having successfully created /boot with `New', leaving one free cylinder, I
could successfully edit the remaining chunk of free space into a new ext3
partition.  I don't know whether there's something special about /boot or some
other particularity of my partition table (such as the fact that the new
partition would have to be called /dev/hda9, but it would be physically before
/dev/hda5, and the first one in the chunk reserved for hda4, an extended partition.
