The SSDs are connected to Mini-PCIe slots (or soldered to them) and |
| 12 |
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 |
| 15 |
the devices. At least adding "rootwait" and "rootdelay=10" to the |
| 16 |
kernel line solved my problems. I must say I'm getting this from |
| 17 |
nabble, since my EEE is running windows (I'm installing Gentoo on it |
| 18 |
this weekend). |
