What about the System.map file? You kinda need that too.

Something went bing when it should have gone bang. Try another build,
and make sure that you did "make bzImage".

I've never run any scripts to build my kernels.
As someone else mentioned, the aix7xxx driver needs a newer firmware
version in many cases. Check Adaptec's site to see if you have the
latest firmware for the SCSI card. While this shouldn't have any effect
on the kernel build, it could cause problems actually using the kernel
with that card (but not at boot up neccesarily).
