I would strongly recommend that you try the precompiled version you can find on ftp.mysql.com and various mirrors. We have a fairly heavily laden DB at http://www.20min.ch/, and after struggling with random crashes and hangs, and trying various kernel and Linux distribution upgrades (probably just adding confusion and possible error spots to the mess), I finally decided to drop my notion of "doing it myself" and just downloaded the latest MySQL-Max tarball. After that everything has been blissfully silent. Remark: installing the tarball might seem not-so-good, working on a RPM-based (or any other package-based) system. However, the installation is perfectly self-contained; just untar it to wherever you want it, and if you later on think that it's no good, just delete that on directory and it's gone. Brilliant if you ask me. And working software saves money, too.
