Those two sound more like hardware problems, if it happens so haphazardly?

Then this is not a SILO problem. What is hda supposed to be, IDE primary
master? Do you have the initrd set up properly so that the IDE driver can be
loaded?
The kernel stanza in silo.conf should simply have an additional:
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.something
If you don't have the file, you can generate it with update-initramfs.
