Are you sure it is not an Ångström versus nm. problem? If not you may
want to change the element name of your substrate into something
biological, that gromacs can relate to, or to add the file
share/top/vdwradii.dat.

Probably your simulation has  crashed without stopping. Although this is
not nice, you can probably fix it by checking the physics of your
problem.
