First you seem to have built all the MTD drivers as modules so you won't 
see any MTD messages during the bootup phase (unless something is 
explicitly loading a MTD module(s)- which I doubt as you are building this 
for the first time).

I presume that you also did a "make modules" when you "built the kernel"?
