Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary?



I have installed Debian Squeeze using the beta2 installer downloaded from Debian Installer's page (I mean, I didn't use the weekly snapshot).  The following is the output of fdisk on my hard drive in which I noticed something I am not familiar with: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.  I searched and it turned out to be not a thing to worry about (am I right?) but I thought I'd better be reporting it so experts may decide.  Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
