AFAIK the disk order can be changed by changing the order of relevant kernel 
modules in /etc/sysconfig/kernel - INITRD_MODULES.

I cannot speak for the disk order, however, how is GRUB configured? Does the 
11.0's menu.lst refer directly to kernel of 10.3? If so, then we can hardly 
do anything about it. If you chainload the 10.3 GRUB (which is what I suggest 
to do if you load 10.3 kernel directly), then I really wonder what's wrong.
