it seems to me that with your data the phonon calculation does not go
smoothly at all. The system has a gap. Computing phonons and
electron-phonon coefficients as for a metallic system leads to diverging
(and bogus) values of the Fermi energy shift

But while going for q2r.x I am facing the same problem. I am providing scf
