Addition: today I had to reboot and accidentally ran the new kernel. This time 
it seemed to boot up okay. But after a while I noticed the external USB drives 
didn't appear and they weren't around as dev/sdX either.
I turned them off and on. They still wouldn't come on, and one of them was 
making a scratchy sound. When I checked out dmesg, I saw that the "Bad block 
number requested" messages kept spewing there, but now for one of those drives!

...
[ 7599.985688] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdd] Bad block number requested
[ 7599.986058] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdd] Bad block number requested
[ 7599.986190] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdd] Bad block number requested
...

etc..

I think this might be relevant...
