What happens if I made linux ext3 as primary bootable, and left swap as logical?

As webboss said, your linux ext3 needs bootable.
I think it is more common as you said there that I quoted you above ie linux on primary. But linux can boot from logical as well but once again needs be made bootable whether on primary or on logical.
Swap aids memory when needed that is all that it does, it has no need for boot do not make bootable the swap.
I think 4 primary partitions is the limit for primary partitions.
(you most likely don't need it) but If need LOTS of partitions then a way to do is to create a huge extended to then be divided into X number (2, 3, 4, 5, etc. number) of logical partitions.
But if you don't need that, then don't do it.
