Yum update problems - slightly maybe off topic

[Jeff Sheltren]

AFAIK this is built into the RPM spec file (ie. pre and post commands)
so that the daemon gets stopped, then upgraded, then started.  I have
never experienced the problem you are describing with yum... Could your
mysqld config files be screwed up?  If you do a 'service mysql start'
after it has been upgraded, does it start OK?
