Roland, thanks for looking into this and filing an issue, as well as for the workaround. I just assumed it was an oversight and worked around it.

Ah, as it turns out thebug is a duplicate of this one

Most likely it will be fixed in the next version

Hi! nice find.

I filed a bug report for it:

you can subscribe to it and see how it develops from here.

Just a note that you do not have to uncomment the line in the my.cnf – you can simply pass:

–default-storage-engine=MyISAM on the command line to mysql_install_db.

I think that is indeed the case, but I would have thought that a better error message would be in order, or better documentation.

interesting

Perhaps it tries to set up the mysql db tables as innodb and chokes on that?
