Hm, I don't agree. I think the problem is in libparted/arch/linux.c
init_file():
dev->bios_geom.sectors = 32;
vs _device_probe_geometry() which defaults to what the LBA reports or:
dev->bios_geom.sectors = 63;
So, when vmbuilder uses parted to build the disk, parted treats the disk
file differently than it would a real LBA mode drive. Fixing this is the
core cause of the problem, as far as I see it.

Title:
vmbuilder uses parted to create disk images, which leads to broken
sector counts (cannot use grub2 on disk images created by
vmbuilder/parted)
