Description:
Upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.0.3 with following rpm's;
rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-5.0.3-0.i386.rpm MySQL-client-5.0.3-0.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-5.0.3-0.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-5.0.3-0.i386.rpm

Mysql wouldn't start anymore:
[root@localhost /]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL................................... ERROR!

after editing the /etc/cnf file ->
[mysql]
#no-auto-rehash   ---> disabling this option
the server started again!!!

How did I find out?
[root@localhost /]# mysqlmanager
mysqlmanager: unknown option '--no-auto-rehash'

How to repeat:
upgrade mysql from 5.0.1 to 5.0.3 with rpm as described

Suggested fix:
? re-enable the no-auto-rehash option
