Hi Christopher, thanks for your help.
I have just flashed my BIOS and this is what I get when quering for BIOS info:

 sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
A03
03/22/2011

It makes actually sense if it was a problem with the BIOS because it was not 
only the touchpad affected but also the Bluetooth device sometimes was not 
existing. 
It seems to be fine now although I booted only a couple of times so I don't 
know if it is a stable solution. Anyway, I don't think it's something wrong 
with the HW scanning of the kernel.
How shall I move this bug record?

Thanks again for your help, mucj appreciated.

Cheer,
Renato
