large water system calculation with cp2k

[Phil G.]

Dear Samuel,

two further attempts with curvy steps (the TRS4 method was turn off) with 
and without S-PRECONDITIONER ATOMIC and both cases lead to the error:

 ****************************************************************************
 *** 15:15:55 ERRORL2 in dm_ls_scf:ls_scf_init_read_write_input processor 
***
 *** 0  :: err=-300 S Preconditioning not implemented in combination with 
***
 *** CURVY_STEPS. dm_ls_scf.F line 738                                    
***
 ****************************************************************************
What is the reason for this error and what the code should look in the 
section LS_SCF ?
In one of the last posts there is an input file and you can see what is 
missing and what is wrong in the code.

Kind regards,

Phil
