No error message?  Just stuck?  It could be that you're trying to read and write 
to the same file names.  I think your method of preparing the extended run is 
also malformed, since the advent of checkpoint files.  See here:

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Extending_Simulations

Try with the syntax and naming convention given there (to avoid potential I/O 
confusion) and see if your run works.
