Well, it makes sense to make the kernel executable, but that doesn't seem to be the problem as the kernel seems to be executing already (all that output is from the kernel, I think).
It all looks normal until the end, when the kernel can't mount the root partition. You say you have a SCSI disk, but I don't see any SCSI device drivers getting loaded in the kernel output. So.... you have to find a kernel with SCSI support compiled in and install that. This kernel seems to assume all buses are PCI (and ISA?).
