Ah, I had a look at the bug report.

How/when did parted create that partition table?  Was it during
a Red Hat install?

I suspect that kernel thought the disk was 155114/16/63, and aligned
the partitions accordingly.  Parted is seeing that now.

What do you mean by "can't handle", BTW?  "Ignore" should work fine.
