Linux fdisk question (Oracle Enterprise Linux)

OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2
Hypervisor: VMWare workstation 9

I created a VM and attached a 7gb virtual disk to it.

Using fdisk , I partioned the disk like below. The filesystems mounted on this is working fine. But I am seeing the message

Code:

Partition n does not end on cylinder boundary.

for each partitions as shown below.

Code:

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 7516 MB, 7516192768 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0006b683

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      102400   83  Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2              13         144     1049600   83  Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3             144         275     1049600   82  Linux swap / Solaris
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda4             275         914     5137408    5  Extended
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda5             275         914     5136384   83  Linux

Why am I getting this message ?
Can this be ignored ?

virtual-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				    virtual-filesystems(7)

NAME

       virtual-filesystems - event signalling that virtual filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       virtual-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  virtual-filesystems  event	is  generated  by  the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all virtual filesystems listed in fstab(5).
       mountall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so	in  parallel  with
       other activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started in order to mount other filesystems.  When this event occurs, common filesys-
       tems such as /usr may not be mounted.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once virtual filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on virtual-filesystems
