This is know issue, which AFAIK we were not able to track it down until now.

It is a configuration file. You can not execute config file. (In general file 
from /etc are normaly not exectuable.)

It is the password for the root user of your mysql installation. For the 
commen distributions it is often empty after a defautl installation (just 
press return; but dont forget to change this password: it is a security 
risk!)

This means the script was not able to find executable gen_ha1, which is 
included in the ser-mysql rpm. Please first check if the 
executable /usr/sbin/gen_ha1 exists. If yes you probably miss /usr/sbin in 
the $PATH of your user. Either add /usr/sbin to your PATH variable or edit 
the ser_masql.sh script and give the full path to the gen_ha1 executable.
