I can't believe that there's a modern system that still has the 1024
cylinder limit as that would mean that any Windows install would
randomly die when a boot file moved above that point. I'm thinking that
this problem was actually due to the fact that the partition started
beyond 219 GB and grub had been using HDIO_GETGEO, which can't report a
start larger than that. Bug #1237519 fixed this, so I think it may have
fixed your issue as well. Can you see whether this is still a problem
in the Trusty nightly? I'll see if I can reproduce it in a VM.
