errno=2 is "No such file or directory". Meaning modprobe isn't in
your initial ramdisk. You're using an initial ramdisk, right, as your
SCSI subsystem (scsi_mod) and your SCSI device drivers are all modular.

which is expected, as you don't have any SCSI drivers loaded.
Either use an initrd, or change all the CONFIG_SCSI* entries you care
about to =y.
