Mysql problems (wont restart)

[Reg Clemens]

I have a mysql database (in MythTV) that has been running
several months uninterrupted.

I had to take this machine down, and now on the reboot the
database wont restart.

Is there any program out there to try to clean up whatever the
problems with the database are, and get this thing restarted
without having to start from scratch (and loose all the data in 
the database)?
