24 IIRC the default my.cnf changed for the worse in Gentoo's 5.1.x ebuild.
25 Try making a copy of your original my.cnf and put it into place once
26 you've upgraded. Else you may need to modify the mysql home and data
27 paths in the new my.cnf to reflect where the database are actually
28 installed.
