Possibly the firmware on the ssd was resetting itself (or something similar).
Can you see if a more recent firmware version is available for your SSD?
Upgrading the firmware from 0309 to 070H seems to have fixed the issue. The drive is now detected on cold boot.
Otherwise, it looks like this could be worked around in SeaBIOS, but it wouldn't be particularly nice.
Some message on the screen informing the user about a bad device could be helpful, though currently the Crucial m4 is the only device, this is needed for.
One or several attached drives could not be correctly initialized. This could be a problem with the hardware or the drive firmware. Please check the hardware on a different system or update the firmware and try again.
Thanks,
