[Pw_forum] phonon calculation, gamma point

Dear Espresso users,

I have encountered a problem during the phonon calculation
of bulk pyrite, which I am not able to resolve.

The way I do the calculation is the following:
I remove all the old restarts from my working directory.
I do an SCF calculation using K point sampling (see attached input).
It runs without problem.
Then I submit the phonon calculation using the attached (second) input.

The error message I receive right at the start of the calculation is the
following:
-------------------------------------------------
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     from find_group : error #         1
     incompatible operations
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...
------------------------------------------------
looking into the source files i have understood that the problem is related to the fact that
no symmetry element has been found during the restart but  I have not gone further
hoping that you might help.

Thanks for any suggestion in anticipation.
