Perhaps the semi-auto method of adding control points:

http://tinyurl.com/5cgjfg

Control Points Tab - Select image 0 in left pane, image 1 in right pane,
select Control Points/Generate Control Points for image 0 and 1
(Ctrl+Alt+Shift+G on PC)... it will automagically create control points for
just that image pair.  Now select image 1 and 2 and do the same, etc. etc.
etc.

I had pretty good success with this method while trying to stitch a
difficult pano recently... it was because there weren't enough UNIQUE points
in a common series of images - perhaps you're running into the same issue
with the ceiling tiles?

Good luck!
