Dear all,

I'm trying to do an SCF calculation in quantum espresso. The program runs
for a few minutes and then stops, giving the following error message

"from davcio : error #        10
     error while reading from file
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...
"

The following is the input file I used:


&control
    pseudo_dir  = '.',
    calculation = 'scf',
    prefix = 'BN_5X5',
    restart_mode = 'restart',

/

&system
    ibrav =  0,
    celldm(1) = 23.73887,
    nat =  50,
    ntyp = 2,
    ecutwfc = 38,
    ecutrho = 304,
    occupations='smearing',
    degauss=0.003,
    smearing='mp',
/

&electrons
   conv_thr = 1.D-7,
   mixing_beta = 0.8,

/

&ions
  ion_dynamics = 'damp',
