No, that's not the issue. If you google for the mysql output before it quits "Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root!" there are a lot of other reports. I'll read them after lunch and see what they mean - they can't all be running as root ;).
So all the other reports with this error message I looked at yesterday were indeed users running akonadi as root. I don't know another reason why mysql would output this error message, so I'm going to look for ways it could be trying to run as root. In your serverstart log file Akonadi is trying to use a database in /home/constant112 so at least it has a user's $HOME environment. Is your mysqld binary setuid root? Also, I'm adding a 'not root' test to the Akonadi self test dialog to make it clear to others that running as root is strongly discouraged.
