I had this (or a very similar problem) a few months ago.
my memory is a little hazy, but I think the problem may have been
related to (previous?) use of ontrack's disk manager.
aah yes it is coming back to me. I had this problem when I was using
fips.
I believe that I solved it by checking which of the values was the
correct one, maybe by calculating it manually, based on the disk
parameters, and using some disk utility or something to put the correct
value in somehow.
I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful, but I am just relating my
experiences as I remember them.
