But running simple mdrun with quite the same parameters results in normal minimization. I've compiled source code of gromacs-3.3.3, gromacs-4.0 and i always have this problem. Maybe there's some hints for compiling double precision version in Mandriva 2008?

It could be a compiler problem obviously. Which version do you use?
On the other hand one should expect slightly different results in single 
and double precision.

But if this is reproducible please submit a bugzilla. I have a vague 
recollection that there was something ike this previously as well in 
bugzilla.
