Have you done anything manual yourself, like my_install_db or
something similar?
One thing you could try (will remove all your current data, but it
didn't sound like you had anything there):
Go to /var/lib/mysql, and "rm -fr *" in that directory. After that,
start it the normal way ("service mysqld start"), and everything
should be fine.
