I'm not sure what more info you want.

The host mysql was shut down when I ran the install; in fact, I've
disabled the host start up script mysql, although I haven't touch
mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm (I don't know what they do).

Do you have any idea what the significance is of the SQL code that
didn't run?
