Firstly, that is a very well written e-mail. You have provided all the
steps that you had followed for us to understand what you are
experimenting with.

#1 Why are you creating logical partitions? You can create upto four
primary partitions.

#2 You do not need 1 GB for /boot. Try installing with separate /,
/home and swap primary partitions.

#3 Can you also check if there are no other primary partitions on the
hard drive?
