This could very well be. Though I let the repair work for 30 mins and
nothing of its output changed, always in this loop.

I'll let it run overnight.
3. So resized 2 and 3, which naturally deleted the data on both of them.
I hope you re-ran mkfs at this point?
yup I had to force it though, as mkfs detected the old xfs partition
even though I had stolen the first 2GB from it.
and put the hd back into the original laptop. She booted fine, grub,
everything, but during kernel loading isn't able to mount the xfs.
partition(root) I took the hd out again and tried mounting the hd on the
system where I had copied the stuff from. Nothing works there either, so
that's where I am now.
I assume that if you repartitioned part3 (root), you probably also
re-ran your bootloader. Again, did you tell the bootloader to land on
the mbr, or on a partition?
Nope I didn't run my boot loader again.
Grub jumps to the first partition and loads the kernel from there and
all that went fine. All I did is rewrite the partition table for
partition 2 and 3.
