Dear Junbo

https://www.cp2k.org/faq:cholesky_decomp_failed

If that does not help, please include the relevant part of your output
and also the input file if possible since a Cholesky decomposition is
used in different parts of CP2K and the error message alone is usually
not specific enough to pinpoint the culprit.

Best regards,
Tiziano
