OS: SuSE 10.0 Pro I have mysql set to start on boot by using YaST System ==> System Services (Runlevel) set to Yes for mysql. However, the boot messages on tty1 stop with mysql and no login prompt appears for tty1 - tty6 unless I kill musql and restart it manually. I read a similar thread from November but he was starting mysql using xinetd. Has anyone experienced this behavior? ANy ideas as to why and how to fix it? Below are a list of the mysql processes running and the owner process for /etc/init.d/mysql, the last few lines of boot.msg (which would seem to indicate that processes following mysql do start and the listing of the /etc/iit.d/rc5.d directory: root 4341 2662 0 12:38 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/mysql start root 4354 4341 0 12:38 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --log=/var/log/mysqld.log mysql 4414 4354 0 12:38 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid --skip-locking --port=3306 --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --log=/var/log/mysqld.log lucky 5303 5274 0 12:40 pts/3 00:00:00 grep mysql root 2662 2620 0 12:38 ? 00:00:00 startpar -p4 -t 30 -T 3 -S 20000:45535 -M start -P N -R 5 root 4341 2662 0 12:38 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/mysql start lucky 5307 5274 0 12:40 pts/3 00:00:00 grep 2662 #
