I had this issue using the base amazon version of Linux. I don't think we ever got past it. I ended up using a centos instance for the base. If you do figure it out please let us know!

I have been able to install succcessfully on a local CentOS machine and Rackspace CentOS 6.3 VM, I believe the issue is something specific to Amazon EC2 but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any suggestions for a fix/workaround would be appreciated.
