You can't, in general, mix grid engine versions -- not 6.2u5 with anything earlier, I'm pretty sure. The qmaster messages file probably says so. Trying to can crash the qmaster <https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/1441>.

I suspect it didn't recognize the kernel, in which case it's trivially fixable, but that won't avoid having to stop the cluster and rebuild the system to get off the older version. >> How is your setup right now and how do the other nodes know about the actual >> qmaster?
