I suggest to install a newer linux-distribution.
The 'fdisk' from my ReadHat 6.0 know the partition-type 'f' as
"Win95 Ext'd (LB".
But I'm not sure if the kernel can read the partitions .... but you
can check this in the kernel boot-messages.
BTW: you should alwas create the partitions with it own fdisk,
linux partitions with linux-fdisk, win-partitions with dos-fdisk ....
