SuSE Linux: Version 7.1
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Kernel: Version 2.4
MySQL: Version 3.23.30-2

Symptom

During the start process of mySQL the message appears:
rcmysql start
Starting service MySQL                                                failed
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

Cause

mySQL starts anyway. The command startproc in the startscript of mySQL seems not to work with a kernelversion 2.4.

Solution

Everything is allright.

The message 'failed' isn´t correct as mySQL starts normally without any problems.

Here you'll find an update package for mySQL:
