it seems the initial convergence has not been achieved during first phase of CI location algorithm.

As suggested in the manual, add the following line to your input:

 $conic shift0=1.0E-3 $end                                                       

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>Since I am optimizing for a conical intersection between the ground state and the first excited state, does the calculation give me the energy of the ground state for each NSERCH? I was only able to extract the energy of the first excited state for each point.
