Hi Jeff/Joseph,

I just requested to up my EC2 instance limit so that I can test things
out at this scale and see what the issue is. In the mean time would you
mind sending me any logs found in /opt/sge6/default/common/install_logs
and also the /opt/sge6/ec2_sge.conf for a failed run?

Also if this happens again you could try reinstalling SGE manually
assuming all the nodes are up:

$ starcluster sshmaster mycluster
$ cd /opt/sge6
$ ./inst_sge -m -x -auto ./ec2_sge.conf
