Is there anything in the error log? You could try starting it from the
command line to see what errors you get. The following will work assuming
you installed using the rpm's. Otherwise the location of mysqld and the
user may differ.

#su - mysql
#/usr/sbin/mysqld

Run this and see what errors are reported.
