I'm hesitating to go back to my backup - would be another 2.5 hours... There are clearly differences in partition 2, though: I kept mine. I guess the rootfs images in partition 1 are pretty much alike between the models.
On a K3, there is no diags partition. Diags is just a program that runs in main. Isn't partition 2 just the persistent user store partition (/var/local/), which is partition 3 on K4/K5?

EDIT: You can just zero that partition (or the first 1K of it) and the kindle will rebuild it on next reboot. I verified that /dev/mmcblk0p2 on a K3 is the /var/local partition.
