|      I am having the driver for onboard SATA RAID -- Red Hat 4.0 Update 2 Kernel 2.6.9-22 for Intel SE7230NHl-E.  But it is not getting installed in Scientific Linux 4.2 which have the same kernel version 2.6.9-22.
|      As Scientific Linux is based on red hat i thought so. I need to know whether the driver provided will be compatible for both Red Hat and Scientific Linux. If not, where could I get the drivers for Scientific Linux.

Is it complaining at all?

Some packages look for a specific package with a RedHat
name component (such as RHEL).  In that case you'll
need to do something like

   rpm -i --nodeps foo.rpm

or

   rpm -i --force --nodeps foo.rpm
