Make sure your my.cnf is setup and placed in the /etc/ folder. I had this same problem with a MySQL server update and needed to create the my.cnf before mysql would start again.
You can read up on what I did (and what I did about your socket problem) right here.
Restart the server (reboot the machine). See if that does anything. From the problem I was having with the socket issue, it appeared to be caused by one of three things...
The server was already running when the admin tried to start it
The my.cnf had not been created
The server had not been stopped before installation/upgrade and caused a corruption.
There is a lot of talk about this problem at the MySQL forums. You might want to try there as well. Another to try is to google the entire error message. I found a lot of resources when I was searching.
If you can't start mysql at the prompt I am not sure you'd be able to at boot. The skip-innodb command goes under the [mysqld] heading in your my.cnf file.
Honestly, at this point I would be inclined to uninstall MySQL and reinstall it. I like the RPMs, but I am a Linux newbie who really doesn't know beter.
