Subject: AMBER: empty frcmod file but missing parameters

Hi
I want to generate the force field for a ligand and combine it with my
macromolecule to perform an MD simulation. I have done the following:
I am using AMBER8.
I have generated a .prep file for my ligand (2OG) using antechamber
Next i used parmchk to see if there are any missing parameters and the resulting
frcmod file looked like this:

remark goes here
MASS

BOND

ANGLE

DIHE

IMPROPER

NONBON

So i assumed that there are no missing parameters.

Next i loaded my .prep and .frcmod file to leap and used the following script
to generate the topology file for my macromolecule+ligand (pdb named 1EA0_A.pdb
in the script and my ligand is named 2OG):
loadAmberParams 2OG.frcmod
loadAmberPrep 2OG.prep
1ea0 = loadpdb 1EA0_A.pdb
addions 1ea0 Na+ 0
solvatebox 1ea0 TIP3PBOX 10.00 0.75
saveamberparm 1ea0 1ea0.prm.top 1ea0.prm.crd
quit
I have the following output:

I do not understand what to do next. Will you please help me solve this problem.
Thanks u very much in advance.
