New installation mysql does not startup???

[telmove]

I have a brand new machine with a new installation of linux and cpanel. When the machine boots up mysql does not start when everything says ok mysql says fail. How do I get it to startup?
Thanks for any input.

Hint!

If the above doesn't work:

# mysqld --user=mysql &

Please give us the errors you receive.
Basically /scripts/mysqlup --force will resolve all issues...
