System Event Log looks perfectly normal. Can you provide the Forward Progress Log too?
It looks like EFI is not starting. The last entry (31 0 0x000207 0x00000000000E003C CPU0 starting EFI") should be followed by some informationals about the POSSE library version and EFI version. After that the system starts to identify devices and to load drivers.
Bad SCSI controller is possible. Unfortunately it resides on the main board. Does it make any difference when you put your system disk on the other SCSI controller (disk slots 0 and 1 are on controller A, slot 2 is on controller B). Maybe you can try to disconnect the internal SCSI cables (two black cables from the SCSI riser board of the disk cage to their connectors on the main board, close to the P/S inlet) to rule out a possible bad SCSI riser board.
