Starting w/ SOM

I've been trying to run CAM with the SOM, and I can't get it to run. I've followed the directions to add the needed fields to the input dataset and am using that dataset. I've tried running it initially and as a branch run from a run using climatological SSTs as previous posts seem to indicate that I can. Both has not worked.

For the initial run, I get several QNEG4 warnings about the max possible LH flux being exceeded:

QNEG4 WARNING from TPHYSAC , lchnk = 3; Max possible LH flx exceeded at 2 points. Worst excess = -3.2043E-06 at i = 114

And I'm setting reset_csim_iceprops to .true. in my namelist. Any thoughts on what else I need to do?
 
QNEG4 warnings are not unusual so dont worry about it(you get that if you get -ve moisture values check subroutine qneg4.f in physics dir) but does the model stop giving some error when you start initially? what error do you get?

I know, I've noticed them all the time before. But this time, they're paired with the model stopping on the FIRST time step. There's also an indication given that all the ice is sublimated away.

i am not sure but check for proper values of icecov in your boundary sst dataset.
can you show log file at point of error.

Any hints would be very helpful. Thanks.
