Dear Franklin Jones, You need a partition for the root directory items. I see you have /boot and one for /usr; but, you don't have a place for /..... / is the ultimate root directory for everything that doesn't go in /boot or /usr.... which is quite a bit of configuration and other items... /etc /var /proc /tmp ... etc. I hope this fixes your problem....
