[CP2K:1341] Minimization bug

[Laino Teodoro]

Dear Roberto (??),

Few guess (maybe not enough) on what you posted at the end of the  
message.
Maybe (MAYBE) if you attach the coordinates and all necessary info in  
order to reproduce
your error (MAYBE) you will get some more useful help.
I will try to be as clear as possible: this kind of messages are  
totally useless. Pieces of
input files are as useless as sending spam.

280 may not be enough for BLYP.. did you check it?

do you have an idea of what 1.0E-8 means?
Standard value is 1.0E-12.. and if it was set to this value maybe  
there's a reason..
who told you to use 1.0E-8????????

the standard MINIMIZER is CG
and maybe 40 steps are not enough for LS/CG in a single SCF..
why not using 60?

Quite big cell.. should you use maybe a poisson_solver with decoupling?
think about it.

Very interesting coordinates.. I tried to run them but I had some  
problem..
