That's normal. Energy groups are not supported on GPUs (there's a note
printed to the .log file) because we haven't thought of a good way to
implement that on GPUs. A better workflow for this is to use mdrun -rerun,
and in 5.0.5 we fixed rerun + energy groups to choose to use only the CPU,
since the GPU isn't useful (or implemented).
