Trouble running the same simulation with gas particles

Hi all,

For a while now I have been running a few simulations successfully using non-gas particles. However, I now wish to include some gas particles and have run into some problems getting Gadget2 to initial run. I now have two initial conditions that creates a ring of particles around a larger central mass. The velocities all assume circular Keplerian motions with the following:
[cid:image003.jpg_at_01D03497.9310C440]

All particle number densities, velocities and masses are the same (I added in a new array for internal energies of gas particles). The only difference is the particle type. The non-gas IC runs fine with no errors and continues to evolve in a Keplerian way. However, when gas particles are used for the ring a zero time step is assigned. I have tried altering the smoothing lengths, mass, number of particles and scale of the system from ridiculously small and large with no effect. The only thing that allows Gadget2 to run is if I reduce the central mass down by a factor of 10, which obviously results in the ring particles no longer having Keplerian motions about the centre. I have probably made a simple error in setting up of the initial conditions or an assumptions I’ve made when using gas particles but am running out of ideas to try. Any help would be great.

Here is the errors for the gas particle IC followed by the successful non-gas IC if it helps:
