Yeap, I have the same situation on a system with that chip. What happens
is that eth0 and eth1 simply "swaps places" on some boots (integrated
SiS900 and a Intel Etherexpress Pro 100S) i.e. it seem to initialize the
devices in the wrong order sometimes. Personally I couldn't be bothered
in finding a real solution, so I just scripted to have the system reboot
if eth0 did not come up with the MAC-address it was supposed to have.
Ugly solution, but workable.. change MAC's as needed.

#!/bin/bash
ETH0MAC="AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA"
REALMAC0="$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth0 | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ {print
$NF}')"
ETH1MAC="BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB"
REALMAC1="$(/sbin/ifconfig | grep eth1 | awk '$0 ~ /HWaddr/ {print
$NF}')"

if [ "$ETH0MAC" != "$REALMAC0" ]
then  
        echo "REBOOTING DUE TO MAC MISSMATCH"
        sleep 3
        /sbin/reboot
fi

if [ "$ETH1MAC" != "$REALMAC1" ]
then
        echo "REBOOTING DUE TO MAC MISSMATCH"        
        sleep 3         
       /sbin/reboot        
fi
