Normally the megasr.ko should reside in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates
You can copy it to the newer location (replace with your kernel number
of course), issue depmod -a, recreate an initrd image that will contain
the module , modify grub.conf and reboot.
I've tested this for a low level entry IBM server that uses a fakeraid
adapter
See for example this post on the forum :
