You'll have to give some example of what you mean.  Otherwise, we're left to 
assume that you improperly generated the coordinate file, but you haven't even 
mentioned how you've done what you're attempting.

You cannot use pdb2gmx unless you have the appropriate .rtp entries (and perhaps 
specbond.dat entries) defined.  See the numerous discussions in the list archive 
as well as pdb2gmx usage information and errors (and how to deal with them) on 
the Gromacs site.
