Your problem here is that you must have started MySQL when you had a 5MB
transaction log file specified, but you then put a new config file online
with a different log file size (256MB), InnoDB complains and dies.

You need to delete your old transaction log files (ib_logfile0) then start
MySQL and all should be fine.

Note: You should only delete your log files when you are absolutely sure
MySQL has shut down OK.
