These are very important warnings, and hence why I said one should never blindly 
use -maxwarn unless you fully understand their implications.  The order of the 
contents of the coordinate file must match the order of the moleculetypes listed 
in the [molecules] directive of the topology, and the order of the underlying 
topologies must match.  You've got a bunch of mismatches here, indicating that 
at least one of these criteria is not satisfied, so anything you do (be it 
simulation or analysis) will be complete garbage.

Fix your coordinate file and try again.  Don't use -maxwarn.  If grompp fails, 
it's for a reason.
