thx everybody,
here are the more details:
i use sysv-init with a simple start script in init.d.
in the end the script starts mysqld_safe in background and
waits for a pid. (yes i could remove that but i do not know the side
effects)

The problem is inside mysqld initilizing innodb can take minutes with a
large database (unsolved problem).
i already found startpar because i saw startpar -f mysqld but frankly i
did not understand how to configurate it, and left it.

The idea of running mysqld direct from initab sound funny and takes away
alot of ccruft hanging around with mysql start script, did somebody try
it already ?
