[QE-users] My input dont converge

[Carlos Rocha]

I am new to QE and its tools. I am executing an SCF calculation with pw.x
of the hexagonal ZnO and I don´t know what's wrong with my input file
because it don`t converge. the output said that cards /*& ions *and
*upscale=10
*are ignored.

Input
&control
    calculation = 'scf',
    restart_mode='from_scratch',
    nstep=500
    prefix='ZnO',
    tprnfor = .true.
     pseudo_dir = '/scratch/humberto/pseudos',
     outdir='.',
/
 &system
    ibrav= 4, celldm(1)= 6.2153, celldm(3)=1.6135, nat=4, ntyp= 2
    ecutwfc =30.0,ecutrho=240.0,

 &electrons
    electron_maxstep=200
    mixing_mode = 'plain'
    mixing_beta = 0.05

 &ions
    upscale=10

i hope somebody can help me.
