Neither of these notes is relevant to the problem at hand, although the second 
means that some component of your topology is badly broken.

Just to be very clear, after rearranging your .gro and .top such that (1) they 
match and (2) all solvent molecules are continuous, you have created a new .tpr 
file and you're still getting an error from genion?
