Hi,

yes, both versions are compiled as mpi version. However the start mpi messages are different. For MPICH, it would show that 1D domain decomposition like 3*1*1, and only 1 file would be produced. However for MPICH2, no such information appears and it would produce many files as (8 nodes): complex_em.edr complex_em.log #complex_em.trr.7# #complex_pr.log.5# #complex_em.edr.1# #complex_em.log.1# complex_pr.cpt #complex_pr.log.6# #complex_em.edr.2# #complex_em.log.2# #complex_pr.cpt.1# #complex_pr.log.7# #complex_em.edr.3# #complex_em.log.3# complex_pr.edr complex_pr_prev.cpt #complex_em.edr.4# #complex_em.log.4# #complex_pr.edr.1# complex_pr.tpr #complex_em.edr.5# #complex_em.log.5# #complex_pr.edr.2# complex_pr.trr #complex_em.edr.6# #complex_em.log.6# #complex_pr.edr.3# #complex_pr.trr.1#

That means that in this case 8 serial instances run instead of one parallel. Either gromacs was not compiled properly with appropriate MPI libraries or something during startup did not work. You should check if the mpich2 ring of daemons is running
with mpdtrace. If not, look up mpdboot.
