Dear Prof Case,
Thanks for always helping out with crucial suggestions along the way.
So, I did try to turn off the softcore potentials, and my simulation crashes. I later realized ( though I may be wrong) that the ifsc=1 supports dual topology, but setting ifsc=0 wont work as I need to create old style prmtp files with dummy atoms. I mean I need to redo from scratch I guess I am stuck!
Your second and third questions: Are you constraints between soft-core and non-soft-core atoms? Have you run the cpu version of pmemd, rather than GPU. Have you re-ordered the restraints in the
DISANG file to see if what is printed depends on that.

Yes, my distance restraints are between soft core and non-soft core atoms , as I am trying to apply distance restraints to keep my probe isopropanol in the kinase pocket and using 3 CA atoms as distance tether points.
I ran the cpu version of pmemd and surprisingly I see that Nstep 1 all energies are printed and evrtything looks okay but after 2 hours of wait no error is printed but my simulation does not proceed either, its stagnated at Nstep1.

Did you try with TI but without softcore? Again, you just need to do a
single step to see what is happening. Are you constraints between
soft-core and non-soft-core atoms? Have you run the cpu version of
pmemd, rather than GPU. Have you re-ordered the restraints in the
DISANG file to see if what is printed depends on that. etc, etc.

I think you are experienced enough by now to do a lot of debugging on
your own. Remember that the goal is to find the minimal difference
between a run that seems to be doing what you want, and one that does
not.
