Dear QE community,

my phonon calculation for AlN complains about


"Error in routine scale_sym_ops (4): incompatible FFT grid"


, whereas the scf calculation I performed beforehand went through without any problems.


I've consulted the user guide and tried increasing the cutoffs for wavefunction and density, to no avail.

Additionally, I've tried playing around with the lattice constants and setting the FFT grid by hand, to numbers

that are divisible by 12, which did not help either.


Do you have any idea that could help me? I am pretty much stuck at this point.

Below is the original espresso.pwi input file for the scf calculation that is performed before the phonon calculation.


Yours sincerely,
