I think I have found the problem with my installation. /var/lib/mysql is a link to a location on an iscsi target. I am fairly certain the iscsi targets were not connected, because eth1, my iscsi interface wasn't brought up. eth1 didn't come up when I rebooted after the upgrade, Now eth1 and iscsi are fine, and I updated mysql successfully.
I'd consider this a non-issue at this point.
