Mmmh, I am quite sure that I didn't see any error message when running
the upgrade to 6.0.3, and I can find those messages in /var/log/dpkg.log ...

..., however, I just re-flashed the kernel ...
sheeva:~# flash-kernel
Generating kernel u-boot image... done.

... did a reboot ... and there you go, the USB disks get recognised
again. Fixed for me at least.
So I assume the new kernel wasn't really flashed. On the other hand: if
the previous kernel was still in place why would it suddenly fail?
Strange ...
Kind regards, Joerg.
Does rebooting help?
