[AMBER] Failure minimizing pamr7 files from A1 tutorial with NAMD=CUDA

Hello:
As a prelude to work with my files, I am experiencing difficulties in
minimizing .prmtop/.inpcrd from the updated A1 tutorial (duplex DNA)
by making use of NAMD 2.8-CUDA on GTX-580 cards (which operate
correctly on .psf/.pdb).

I wonder whether I have misapplied Giambasu-Case guidelines for the
truncated octahedral box or what else, for ex. does NAMD accept
.inpcrd or should .pdb be saved from leap?. The same issue " Num of
atoms in coordinate file is different from that in parm file input
.conf file" occurs also with files from my past simulations, which
were carried out totally within AMBER8, 9 or 10. On the other hand,
present .prmtop/.inpcrd, taken from A1 tutorial, load correctly on
VMD-CUDA.

The periodic boundary info to the input .conf was gived in the form:

# truncated octahedron periodic boundary conditions
set dist 62.8127420

set xx [ expr $dist ]
set xy [ expr $dist * 1/3 ]
set xz [ expr $dist * -1/3 ]

set yx [ expr 0 ]
set yy [ expr $dist * sqrt(2) * 2/3 ]
set yz [ expr $dist * sqrt(2) * 1/3 ]

set zx [ expr 0 ]
set zy [ expr 0 ]
set zz [ expr $dist * sqrt(6) * 1/3 ]

cellBasisVector1 $xx $xy $xz
cellBasisVector2 $yx $yy $yz
cellBasisVector3 $zx $zy $zz

cellOrigin 26.7078 26.3666 26.47117

where the distance was taken from the last line of .inpcrd:
 62.8127420 62.8127420 62.8127420 109.4712175 109.4712175 109.4712175

while the center was taken with tcl commands

set all [atomselect top all]
measure center $all

i.e., the same way as if it were a rectangular/cubic box.


Below the output, which also shows the choice of settings:
