[clug] Fedora 11 problem: mysql

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

I upgraded an f10 system to f11 and mysql will not start now (there are other problems too).

The log shows:

090613 16:03:43 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
/usr/libexec/mysqld: Table 'mysql.plugin' doesn't exist
090613 16:03:44 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.
090613 16:03:44  InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 54148
090613 16:03:44 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Incorrect key file for table 'host'; try to repair it
090613 16:03:44 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended

Running mysql_fix_privilege_tables (or any other utility) fails as there is no server
to connect to.

Luckily this system is not yet commissioned but any help appreciated.
