[CP2K-user] M06-2X Pseudopotential Generation - H not optimizing

Hello,

I am using the below input in an attempt to optimize the pseudopotential 
for M06-2X and it will not optimize.  The GTH_POTENTIAL that is generate 
varies wildly from the initial input.

I was able to use a similar input for oxygen and had no problems.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get an optimized psuedopotential?

Thanks,
Stacey
