Dear all,
After optimised a molecule I tried to calculate the band structure but
pw crashes and I can't figure out why.
The optimisation step should be fine(here it converge immediately
since I rerun my previous calculation):
BFGS Geometry Optimization
bfgs converged in 1 scf cycles and 0 bfgs steps
(criteria: energy < 0.10E-03, force < 0.10E-02)
Final energy = -646.2249695321 Ry

but when I run pw.x to calculate bands it crashes
"
Atomic positions and unit cell read from directory:
./mol_a.save/
Subspace diagonalization in iterative solution of the eigenvalue problem:
a serial algorithm will be used

My input should not contain any errors. I used it for other systems
similar to this one and it works. just in case:
