Hmm, by default the nics are identified by mac address, so the module
load order shouldn't matter ...
You can also explicitly add the nic modules to INITRD_MODULES (in
/etc/sysconfig/kernel), then rerun mkinitrd.  That should make sure
the modules loaded by the initrd in the order specified, thus giving
fixed names to the interfaces.
