The error message is saying that you have multiple partition *tables*,
not multiple partitions (which is normal and perfectly well
supported). Having multiple partition tables on a single disk is
almost always a mistake, one that should be fixed to avoid data loss
among other possible problems even if you aren't using grub. What is
the output of "LANG=C parted -l"?
