I believe that at that point the install tries to authenticate with mysql using a different user. So the issue is most likely a mysql authentication issue. I recommend that you enable logging on mysqld try again and see what mysql's problem is.

I am trying to install media wiki, but it fails whilst its creating
the
database. There doesn't seem to be any specific error and it has succesfully created the database with some tables etc.
