I know this sounds weird, but unplug the power to the machine for a half minute and power it back up and boot off the same kernel. See if it happens again. I had had my USB ports disappear a couple of times after playing with plan9, and it even persisted after rebooting into Linux. I have no idea what would have caused that, and have not had time to try to reproduce.
