Yes, but that would normally indicate you should go back and fix some problem.

Depends. Maybe you changed the box size after generating solvent. Maybe you've mismatched your files. Maybe you ordered genbox not to fill the box with -maxsol. Maybe you didn't use a valid solvent box with genbox -cs. Maybe your model physics is broken somehow (like missing parameters, or inappropriate pressure coupling algorithm). Maybe you didn't read your output for warnings and information well enough. There's probably other causes too.
