hey i have meet the same problem,and i install percona5.6.10 via compile(i download Percona-Server-5.6.10-alpha60.2.tar.gz),when i finished install, all is well,but after a short time when i use /etc/init.d/mysqld restart i get error like "The server quit without updating PID file "  
so i reinstall the percona,and when i complete ,the mysql service is normal and is running,but sfter about 1 0r 2 hours, when i check,the service status is not running and get error like “mysql is not running and lock file………”,even if i remove /etc/my.cnf,the service is not starting,and weather my percona package is correct?and below is the parameter of compile for percona  
tar -zxv -f mysql-5.6.13.tar.gz
