 Is it possible that, when you booted with the new kernel  no cards
 were found they were removed from MythTV's database?

 I have never used MythTV, but maybe - under the old kernel - you can
 add them back in using MythTV's setup and they'll work again?

 This doesn't help why the cards are not shown under the new kernel,
 but if you are easily able to add them in then it would demonstrate
 that your hardware is OK  perhaps inspire confidence.

 I got Myth to work with the 2.6.26-r4 kernel, but I don't plan on using
 this kernel forever.  Is there any way I can find out what modules are
 being loaded with this kernel that aren't being loaded with the new one?

You could check the output of lspci -v to check which drivers are used
for the video-capture card you are using.

  and the video worked, at least from /dev/v4l/video0.  This is a
  temporary solution, but now I can't get mythtv to work.  LiveTV won't
  work, and it won't show my upcoming programs.  I've verified that  
  mysql
  is running:

  and when I run mythbackend and frontend in a terminal, I get this:
  ...
  ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database.
