Dear all,

I am performing spin polarized vc-relax calculations using QE 6.1 and 6.2. For some inputs I am getting an error message in the final scf-calculation after reaching the final coordinates that freeze the calculation:

...

     Initial potential from superposition of free atoms
     Starting wfc are  120 randomized atomic wfcs +    2 random wfc

*Intel MKL ERROR: Parameter 4 was incorrect on entry to DLASCL.*

...

The error is reproducable for QE 6.1 and QE 6.2. However, using QE version 6.0 with the same compilation parameters the calculation works fine. I have noticed some differences in the output comparing version 6.0 and 6.1/6.2. In version 6.0 the starting magnetic structure for the final scf calculation is initialized as provided by me in the input-file with the parameter "starting_magnetization":

/  Starting magnetic structure//
//     atomic species   magnetization//
//        U            0.010//
//        Rh           0.010/

However, in version 6.1/6.2 I get:

/ Starting magnetic structure//
//     atomic species   magnetization//
//        U              NaN//
//        Rh           0.000/

Did the initialization of the final scf step change from version 6.0 to 6.1? And could this lead to the error? I am just a beginner in compilation issues. So I really would appreciate, if someone could give me a hint, why this error occurs. Attached you can find the input file. If you wish, I can send you the two output files for the 6.0 and 6.1 run. (Don't wonder: the structure doesn't contain Uranium atoms as the input-file is generated by a script for a variable composition search.)

Best regards,

Malte
