 The installer aligns partitions (depending on disk total size and sector
 size, in your case apparently to 2048 block boundaries). The second gap
 in your setup is a side effect of that and could be avoided though.
 
 You should be able to work around it by switching from "MB" or "GB" as
 input size to single blocks (which is considered an expert option and
 not recommended for normal installs).
