To the best of my knowledge, this is not correct. Since some version (be it 2.6.16 or the like), the kernel uses asynchronous device detection, that is, all drivers are loaded and devices may get detected (and thus named) in an order depending on outside temperature or bad wheather conditions or the like. This is also why udev got so important, e.g., for consistent network device naming. If, however, there is no udev rules files (as in case of an initial install), naming may vary. Best, Michael
