network devices changing ...

Hi,

on new DELL R820 I'm currently trying to install SLES11SP1.
A newer version is not possible (software reasons ...).
I used some older autoinstall file, which works for old nodes. On the 
new node
the installations fails.
1) The initrd was modified (new tg3 and megariad_sas module. But both 
modules
  are not loaded automatically. I have to do this by hand.

2) When I start the installation process after loading the modules,
everything seems to be fine, but after the first boot the network devices
have changed. In in the udev rules file the eth{0,1} switched to eth{2,3}
and eth{2,3} switched to eth{0,1}. So after the first boot, no network
is available and I have to switch the udev rules (doing a rescue boot).
Therefore not everything of the autoinstall script is executed.

*) How can I check, why the modules are *not* loaded ?

*) Can I force in the autoinstall file to create the udev rules according
to the mac addresses (lowest mac adr. -> eth0; lowest mac adr.+1 ->eth1,...)

Bye,
