Check the mysql error log & syslog in your chroot to see if you can figure out why MySQL failed to start. Could be as simple as file ownership/permissions.

Looking in my chroot, there is nothing in /var/log/mysql.err, /var/log/mysql.log, or /var/log/mysql. I mean no entries. I don't have a syslog in the chroot /var/log area.
