Yes I did. Jarods write-up suggests that you set a root password. 
But it seems to me that if mythsetup needs to access mysql then it 
would need to know the password. (Just guessing, I have no clue)

The logs talk about a missing innodb database, then tells you how 
to fix it and refers you to a website. Did all that, no help.

It fails with error messages similar to those I get when I run 
mythtvsetup. Hmm... Makes me think it might not be mysql at all, 
but mythbackend.

Same errors when I log in as mythtv, or if I su to root, or if I log in as 
root after a reboot.
