F12 partitions problems

Hello,
After a fresh install I have problems with partitions


Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 45 358400 fd Linux raid autodetect
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 45 109 512000 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3 109 30401 243325601 fd Linux raid autodetect

As you can see the End sda1 and the Start sda2 are the same and same for sda2 and sda3
sda1 is /boot sda2 is swap sda3 is OS(lvm)

I did do
swapoff /dev/sda2
fdisk /dev/sda deleted Partition 2 then added it back in with 46 - 108
reboot
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2
my swap is in fstab with UUID had to change it after the reboot

It fixed Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary, but did not fix Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.


NEW:

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 45 358400 fd Linux raid autodetect
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 46 108 506047+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 109 30401 243325601 fd Linux raid autodetect


Would anyone know how to fix without a new install ?

They do not need to start or end on a cyl boudary.
Cylinders are logic on modern large disk drives.
The fdisk program is many years old.

If it was a problem the O/S would not be installed or bootup without a very serious obvious condition.
