Smells like MySQL (debian packaged version, very nicely engineered IMO) works 
perfectly on my beloved Ultra10 ;). In fact it does since months, in 32bits 
mode (you can read more about it in today's posts).
Probably you installed just mysql-common, but you need mysql-server in order 
to host dbs on your machine.
