Actually, I have no problem with k-points parallelization in case of scf calculations.
The problem is when running *.ph.in using ph.x ( with elph=.true.,)- in this case I have to set npool =1 so the calculations will continue-. I will try the Al example in the new version and let you know. Actually I was running this example ( example07 in espresso example directory) using espresso-4.0.3 and I had the same problem of using more than pool.
