There is something about a conflict between the generator and the PI system, but I can't remember exactly what the phrase is for that.

It may be that the PI system detects the lack of a proper ground with a generator providing the input power. Remember, the generator is NOT actually grounded unless you run a grounding wire from it into the ground!
The portable generator manufacturers skirt this issue by telling you in your user manual to "consult a qualified electrician".
