Yeah I ran into that yesterday myself. The mysql_install_db doesnt leave you with a working mysql database lately. What did to fix it was mysqld -u mysql --skip-grant &
(Im assuming you have your mysql firewalled off, if not do that first ;) At that point mysql is up enough to restore the mysql database. I ran msyql mysql < mysql.sql where mysql.sql was made from mysqldump of a working mysql. Then mysqladmin shutdown. Then your fine after that for normal operations. I am using innodb as the default table type. I dont know if you are or if that matters.
