Hi Fei,
I assume you have edited the XDS.INP file to include the initially found space group and the first refined cell ?
If not, then that would be my first choice to do. If that then still fails with the default parameters, then I would start fixing some values instead of refining all of them at the same time.
The keywords to look for are the following:
SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=
UNIT_CELL_CONSTANTS=
REFINE(IDXREF)=
REFINE(INTEGRATE)=
REFINE(CORRECT)=
Once XDS successfully integrates your dataset coy GXPARM.XDS to XPARM.XDS and copy those values into the UNIT_CELL_CONSTANTS and rerun XDS.INP
And more details on each of those can be found here:

You should be able to take care of your problem as it doesn't sound severe.
