This was a kernel panic (the Linux BSOD) and has nothing to do with MythTV. 
Your system is broken in some way (hardware failure, bad drivers etc). This 
is how it is expressed in the documentation:

There is usually a stack trace on the console when this happens. That might 
tell you where in the kernel the crash occurred. However, the traces are no 
easy reading. Maybe someone on the list can give more help.
