Can't use free space

Bug Description

I have the following partitions on my harddisk:
1 ntfs 28gb
2 free 0.22mb
3 ntfs 9.7gb
4 free 11gb
5 ext2 6gb
6 swap 1gb

I chose "use the largest amount of free space" instead of doing the partitions manually though. When it was supposed to install the system I got a dialog box with the message "no root file system".

Actually I don't think it should be able to add any more partitions to the disk. QtParted doesn't allow it either. So the installer should recognize this.
