Hi,

I think the nearby suggestions to run mysql_upgrade are probably right, especially if you're trying to upgrade from some pre-5.5 version of mysql. But it occurs to me that there's some chance of SELinux interference; do you see any avc messages in /var/log/messages? If so, restorecon on the /var/lib/mysql tree ought to fix that.
Removed the entire mysql* rpms, installed fresh via yum, rm -rf /var/lib/mysql, enabled the service, did the mysql_install_db and all is good.
Trying to start the server gives me this though...

Where should this proxies_priv.frm reside as it looks to be the same missing file as before?
What does 'which mysql_install_db' say? Maybe there is another older version of that script in your path?
Also what does 'grep "CREATE TABLE.*proxies_priv" /usr/share/mysql/mysql_system_tables.sql' say? That's what is used by mysql_install_db to create the system tables.
Have you actually done an 'ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql' to verify that the file is indeed missing? Do the MYD and MYI files for that table exist?
