Continued from here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=6097

I have a configuration with InnoDB disabled (file will be uploaded). If I remove the offending lines 

default-storage-engine=myisam
skip-innodb

.. it works fine.  It should work with these lines as well according to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_default-storage-e...

How to repeat:
see above.

Suggested fix:
no clue.

Thank you for the report.

Additionally to default-storage-engine  you also have:

----<q>----
# The default storage engine that will be used when create new tables when
default-storage-engine=INNODB
----</q>----

This explains why server refuses to start. Closing as "Not a Bug".
