[mythtv-users] Kernel Panics

MythTV was running just fine for me for a year. Then, last December I
shut it down as I was going out of town for a week. When I started it
back up it kept kernel panicing. I kept rebooting and eventually it
started working again. But in the last month it keeps freezing up every
other day. I can't figure out what's causing the crashes. Got the
following kernel panic which I was able to capture because I was ssh'd
into the box:

I'm running Mythdora 5, based on Fedora 8. I was wondering if the
problem was caused by overheating, but it shouldn't be any hotter than
it was for the last year. I haven't moved it. I opened up the cover
and all the fans seem to be working. Also, I thought I needed to dust
it, but there wasn't much dust in there at all.
Can't figure out what I'm doing to cause this. It happens if I'm
watching recorded programs, if it's sitting idle, if it's recording
programs, if it's transcoding programs. In other words, it can happen
at any time.
Other interesting things, one time when I booted up after a kernel
panic, it took me to the setup screen as if I'd never used MythTV
before. Then I did another reboot and everything was working. Another
reboot today and now my recordings are gone. (They're still on the HDD,
but mythtv thinks they're gone)
So suggestions would be really welcome! Thanks!
