Earlier in this bug report:

---------------------------------------
On upgrading from 5.0.32-7 to 5.0.36-1 I was affected by this bug. It
hung at the configuration stage with "Stopping MySQL database server".

My fix was to killall -9 mysqld processes, remove mysql-server-5.0 and
then reinstall the old version of mysql-server-5.0 that I had
in /var/cache/apt/archives.

This package is installed on a 2.4.26 host running under user-mode linux
(a Bytemark.co.uk host)

Cheers,

------------------------------------------
I booted an old 2.4.22 kernel and installed the mysql-server-5.0
package.  I seem to be able to create databases and query them.

I don't have the current sarge 2.4 kernel installed, so I can't check
with that one (I suppose I can download an install that though).

I do however have libmysqlclient15off 5.0.36 patched with the cpuid
fix, but the mysql-server-5.0 is the current etch version.

Isn't this only reported against the version in sid, which is not included
in etch?

Of course, there are other reports of it failing with 2.4 kernels.
I don't think anybody asserted that it should work with 2.4.
