Except that it says you have a limit of 15 partition on SCSI and 63 on IDE, 
so even on SCSI you should be able to create 11 logical partitions in your 
extended partition.

Is it possible that you don't have all the devices created?  Check in /dev.  
You you have sda1, sda2, ....sda11, or does it end at sda8?  If you don't 
have the devices, you need to create them with mknod.
