Experienced this problem following a simple upgrade of a few packages including mysql (see below). Afterward mysql did not start on boot.
I tried appending "IFACE=lo" to "net-device-up" as recommended above, but this made no difference. To fix I had to remove the line "and runlevel[2345]". Not sure why this makes any difference as "runlevel" returns "N 2". But now mysql starts on boot.
