restart_mode='restart' is only for interrupted runs. If you want to start a structural minimization from the results of a previous scf run, you should use startingwfc and startingpot ='file'. In principle restart_mode='restart' should also work, but due to a bad design choice done years ago (there are two different file formats for wavefunctions, but nowhere it is written which one is present) the code has to guess where and how wavefunctions are stored, and sometimes it doesn't guess right
