Now I wonder if there is a way that the mapping file could be compared to the host system, and synchronized.... that would solve this problem. Is that possible?

Jeremy,
The following from the System Configurator man page may be of interest to you.
--confighw Attempt to detect and configure hardware. This uses System Configurator's own hardware database to do the configuration, and only works for PCI scsi and network cards.
In the case that you want to use System Configurator's hardware setup, but need a different mapping of pci ids to modules, you can create overrides for System Configurator to use during detection.
Create a file /etc/systemconfig/hardware.lst in the image being installed. The format of this file is as follows:
Vendor Id Card Id Type Module #### #### xxx... my_module
i.e.
8086 1010 ethernet e1000
The Vendor Id and Card Id are the two 4 hex digit numbers identifying the card. The type can be one of scsi, ethernet, or tokenring. The module is the kernel module needed for the card.
