The errors do look like they are a result of your missing V4L kernel
modules. If you still have your previous kernel/V4L packages available
(perhaps in your yum cache) you could reinstall those in the meantime
to regain a functional system.

I'd suggest taking this issue to the atrpms-users mailing list
(although quickly checking reveals that this specific issue was
reported 2 days ago). The MythTV devs have nothing to do with having
3rd-party non-MythTV packages respun.

Cheers,
Nick
