Thank you all for your assistance.
Total energy for calculation with with in1new : -21632.231418 Ry;
Equilibrium lattice constant (a0) = 6.0218A, B0 = 180GPa
Total energy for calculation *without *in1new : -21632.243558 Ry,
Equilibrium lattice 6.0779A, B0 =135GPa
Expmental lattice constant = 5.924A

The warnings appeared in the first few cycles(first 4 out of 17) .

Perhaps following the suggestions, one could choose the result from
calculation *without in1new switch* since :ENE is clearly more negative.
