I have some Dells.

Recently the kernel modules for ide-scsi switched to hda and then back
to sda.

The SI installer kernel and the image kernel see a different device
name. UYOK should overcome this, but...

To get rid of all this I do, in the master script, and I still use 
the SI kernel:

mount /dev /a/dev -o bind
ln -s /dev/hda1 /dev/sda1

before the systemconfigurator part, which includes --runboot, which 
includes grub (or lilo). That symlink is good enough for grub-install.
Of course your fstab and all those things stay the final device name.
IIRC, the parted and mkfs sections will also need the device names
that the installer see.

cheers,
Jan
