Have you tried it without a password? eg. just --user root Are you able to connect with the mysql client?
Sorry, I don't know a lot about rpm and how it works as I work on Solaris and use the .tar.gz versions. Hopefully somebody with familiarity with rpm can help out here? I'd be interested to know what is happening. I have noticed the message about setting root password, maybe it thinks this is a new install?
