If it's a RedHat variant, the drivers are loaded in the initrd image (stored in /boot/), which is built based on values in /etc/modprobe.conf. You'll see a line like this...
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv If the source and target system have the same storage adapter (sata_nv in this case), then it should at least boot. If not, you can find out which module the target system uses, add a line like this... alias scsi_hostadapter1 sata_somethingelse ...and reinstall the kernel package. That'll trigger a rebuild of the initrd image, including the storage adapter of the target system.
