Hey I am trying to run an EFA with 6 factors and 77 traits.  Here is my script: EFA_6<-factanal(factors = 6, covmat = S_LD, n.obs = 2, rotation = "promax").  Here is the error: rror in factanal(factors = 6, covmat = S_LD, n.obs = 2, rotation = "promax") :
  unable to optimize from this starting value.  An EFA with 5 factors ran, with actually sensible loadings,  and the CFA with 5 produced good results, but nothing more than that.   Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Dan
