Sounds like you are missing shuffled and unshuffled coordinates. Once you
have done a run with shuffling, the coordinates stay shuffled. This is a
known defeciency. That means you can not combine your confout.gro from a
shuffled run with your original topology. grompp will give you error
messages about mismatch between names in topology and coordinate file.
You can use the deshuf.ndx file to de-shuffle the order in your
gro/trr/xtc files. This problem will be fixed in a forthcoming version of
gromacs.


Groeten, David.
