The 4.0.11a-5mdk RPMs work for reported problem. I tested the install process in
several variants and did some basic SQL queries (just to be sure).
> I will apply this patch after 9.1 is finished, and if needed made a 9.1 update.
No problem. The report may have sounded more urgent from my side as it was meant
(actually, I don't use the Max-version at all, currently). I just wanted to make
sure you aware of it and can consider the implications.

This belongs to the MySQL-common package, but it was not in the selection list.
Problem: mysql_install_db fails to look for mysqld-max and therefore does not
initialize /var/lib/mysql/mysql properly.
Sorry that I only noticed this so late, but since /var/lib/mysql is kept on
uninstall, the problem only happens when you never installed MySQL before *and*
install MySQL-Max before MySQL. It is a bug in the original script and not by
Mandrake's package, but only became visible when MySQL-Max became undependend of
MySQL package. And reporting it the ordinary way would propagate to late for the
9.1 release.
I will attach a patch.
