Without seeing the ivreg2 command that you gave, and the full output, there is no way of knowing why that warning was triggered. Please read and heed the Statalist FAQ regarding problem reporting.

I got an error message after I use ivreg2;

Error: estimated covariance matrix of moment conditions not of full rank;
overidentification statistic not reported, and standard errors and
model tests should be interpreted with caution.
Possible causes:
covariance matrix of moment conditions not positive definite
covariance matrix uses too many lags
singleton dummy variable (dummy with one 1 and N-1 0s or vice versa)
fwl option may address problem.

What's the meaning of this error message? Is there another way to test
for autocorrelation?
