$ grep pdsyevd_drv */*f90 */*/*f90
  Modules/dspev_drv.f90:    PUBLIC :: pdsyevd_drv
  ...

In Modules/dspev_drv.f90, line 691-693:
  CALL descinit( desch, n, n, nb, nb, 0, 0, ortho_cntx, SIZE(s,1) , info
)
  IF( info /= 0 ) CALL errore( ' pdsyevd_drv ', ' desckinit ', ABS(info)
)
So it is routine "descinit" that issues message
  On entry to DESCINIT parameter number    6 had an illegal value
and returns info=6, causing the code to stop. Since "descinit" is 
a ScaLAPACK routine, and since nothing relevant happened recently
to Modules/dspev_drv.f90, the only explanation I see is that there 
is something strange in your compilation, in particular in the parts
using ScaLAPACK; or there is something strange with your ScaLAPACK 
libraries.
