Since nothing USB is working (do you use a USB keyboard or mouse, by the way?) I would think it's either a kernel setting problem or an unfortunate hardware failure of your USB hub or controller... though the latter seems highly unlikely. app-admin/usbview is a little app that shows all of your USB hardware; basically a GUI for lsusb that makes it a little easier to visualize the hierarchy of devices and controllers. It may be useful for troubleshooting these USB issues. (you may need to run it as root) For example in usbview it makes it very easy for me to see that my keyboard and two mice and running on the OHCI host controller, and my monitor's built-in USB hub and my external hard drive are attached to the EHCI host controller.
