Dear Abinitioners,

I'm having the same problem with Copper: as far as the total energy is 
concerned,  I get good results; but turning to phonons, I get negative 
eigenfrequencies. I think that  a large number of k-points are needed for 
metals like copper, but can anyone give advice on this point?
Thanks in advance, best regards
