actually I think you just forgot to update your initscript.

look in /etc/init.d/ for a ._cfg file.... and then move it over.
Comment 2 alx 2003-05-25 16:14:52 UTC 
etc-update tells me no files to update
no files ._cfg* in /etc/init.d/
so ???
Comment 3 Donny Davies (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-25 16:17:49 UTC 
well, beats me man, it should be.  i have no idea what you've done to your
system, so... who knows.

at any rate just

cp /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-4.0.rc6 /etc/init.d/mysql

and be happy.
