I see these too, probably harmless:

Does not look right..
The only values I can remember that I have seen on a modern system:
heads: 255 and 240
sectors: 63

Setting them like this:
     fix_disk_geo_heads = ""
     fix_disk_geo_sectors = ""
And parted's idea of disk geometry will be used,
or setting them to the values above..
