Uhhh what's the funky thing here? It started ok? You may need to uncomment the mysql_slot_0=() line in /etc/conf.d/mysql for it to work... ?!? Best regards, CHTEKK.
look at the output, it makes no sense ... wtf is this line: * ...
Fixed in CVS, emerge --sync and re-emerge dev-db/mysql to get the fix. The problem was a call to ebegin without passing the text to print out, and it seems like ebegin automatically attaches "..." to the string you pass to it... Empty call thus results in only "..." being printed. Best regards, CHTEKK.
