Mysql fails on emonSD-17Jun2015.img

Hi,

on a fresh and clean install using dd method the image emonSD-17Jun2015.img put on a 4GB SD card on a Raspberry Pi B+ fails to start initially and bring up the configuration/registration interface.

Searching for previous solutions did not work, the closest I found suggested mysql password reset, however mysql would not even start in safe mode. Assuming that not many people have this problem on clean setup, this could be a specific failure with my setup, but ideas are welcome.
