The SSDs are connected to Mini-PCIe slots (or soldered to them) and this slots have USB signals [1] so, they are on USB bus (AFAIK). The kernel takes a little time to detect and settle the bus to detect the devices. At least adding "rootwait" and "rootdelay=10" to the kernel line solved my problems. I must say I'm getting this from nabble, since my EEE is running windows (I'm installing Gentoo on it this weekend).
