Which kernel modules have you built so far? You can find which kernel module provides which symbol by grepping through the kernel sources and checking Module.symvers - e.g for that particular error, you need to insmod scsi_mod.ko first.

You could, I'd advise having a serial adapter and some means of recovery at hand before flashing a custom kernel though.
