I'm not sure if this helps, but I've encountered the "Partition 2 does not end on a cylinder boundary." message before. Thus on another distribution, and not on a ThinkPad, and with another partition with its own bootloader that didn't want to boot up after grub. Anyway. Are you able to mount the diagnostic partition? Because in my experience I could mount the partition that didn't want to boot. And when I removed the newly created partition with parted, things started to happen again. But as I said. This might be a complete different case, but I'm thinking about a bad partition table that might be corrected if the partition in question is removed.
