1) Don't use the Redhat RPM's, download the RPM's from mysql.com
2) Check /var/lib/mysql/<hostname>.err for error reasons
3) Check your config
4) Don't use the Redhat RPM's.

Subject: mysql - getting it to start and stay running.
I am trying to start mysqld on a RH7.1 box. The mysql server was installed
by the initial RH install routine. I ran the install script to setup the
initial databases.
I can run either the msql.server or mysqld commands and while the process
starts with the /var/lib/mysql database, it just ends. No error, nothing
but "mysql ended" on the screen. I cannot get the process to stick and stay
running.
Any ideas?
Thank You, Tom.
