You ave created an extended partition. Now you need to create a logical
partition with that.
On one of my systems I have:
magni:~# fdisk -l
<snip>
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 39 19624+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 40 535 249984 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda3 536 26205 12937680 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 536 2519 999904+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 2520 4503 999904+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 4504 6487 999904+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 6488 26205 9937840+ 83 Linux
Partitions 1 and 2 are primary, 4 is the exteneded space, and partitions
5 - 8 are logical partitions.
Working from memory you need to do something like:
* fdisk /dev/sda
* "n" to create a new patition
* "l" for logical
* <return> (to start at the begining of the extended partition space)
* <return> (to fill to the end of the extended partition space)
* "w"
* "q"
Now use /dev/sda5 and it should work happily.
