Hi, I'm also using RedHast 7.2 and yesterday when I tried to start the MySQL server that came installed with the operating system I had no success. This morning I downloaded MySQL-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm and MySQL-client-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm and installed them then the server came up without any problems.
