when i partition with disk druid
 

hi,
When i make the partition with disk druid in rh9 like
/boot,/home,swap,/,/var,/tmp,/usr then my partition get jump , it can not arrange in the right manner why ?

The partition table can only have 4 primary partitions. If you want to have more than 4 partitions then one of the primary partitions is used as an extended partition to contain entries for logical partitions. These extended partitions have a partition number but they do not contain anything like /home or swap.

P.S. Here is another explanation of extended partitions:
