It would be more useful if you can provide your full input file.

As I said in the first post, you need to rotate your lattice if you swap
BETA and GAMMA angles, i.e. you need to change the whole coordinate system
and coordiantes of all the atoms. The "ERRORL2 in
cp_fm_cholesky:cp_fm_cholesky_decompose processor" error message might mean
you have a very bad geometry, which is related to the way you set your CELL
section.
