This should means that you have alread set a password for root.

This is probably because of the same reason as above.
In this case you should take down mysqld with 'kill' and restart
mysqld with:
safe_mysqld -Sg
After this you can access the MySQL privilege tables with the script
mysqlaccess to check what's wrong; You can also then change your
password with 'mysqlaccess -u root password xxx'

There was a small problem with the mysql_install_db script in the RPM,
but the mysqld binary in it should work without problems as long as
you start this directly ..
