I rebooted (after the kernel update) and all seems well again.

Still wondering why that would happen....
On most OSes (including GNU/Linux) I doubt one can update (in other 
words, change) something as low-level as an operating system's kernel 
and continue to run the system normally. After the update and before the 
reboot, the new kernel is updated on the primary storage medium and the 
old kernel is still running in memory. I'd imagine that there are all 
sorts of kernel dependencies where the currently-running kernel and 
newly-installed kernel differ. Therefore you'll see lots of adverse 
effects for the currently running system which are resolved by getting 
everything rebased on the updated kernel. Hence kernel update packages 
are marked to require a reboot as soon as possible.
