I had to move my /var/lib/pgsql/data out of the way and re-initialize.
Two comments;
1. This should have generated a more useful error, like "data is from an
old version and is not compatible."
2. Once the data directory was moved, I had to manually (re)initialize
the database. There should be a mechanism for 'start' to realize the
server needs to be initialized and do so.
