I am not sure where the idea of using berendsen barostat with the v-rescale
thermostat for equilibration came from, however. Doesn't the typical
equilibration begin with v-rescale for temperature equilibration then
adding parinello-rahman barostat then switching to nose-hoover for production
runs (as nose-hoover chains result in the correct canonical distribution)?

N-H does have known issues, see http://link.aip.org/link/doi/10.1063/1.2989802 and http://link.aip.org/link/doi/10.1063/1.2408420. I am not aware of any shortcomings of the Bussi v-rescale thermostat in GROMACS.

Dear Sara,

I just had a problem with my simulations that I traced to the use of the
V-rescale temperature algorithm.  Here is my recent post:

V-rescale may be appropriate in certain simulations, but it is apparently
NOT appropriate when used with Berendsen pressure coupling during the
initial equilibration.  I don't know if that is related to your problem, but
it's something that I just discovered the hard way.
