2.5.62 kernel that is compiled without devfs and without module support.
/proc/devices shows: Character devices: 29 fb
ls -l /dev |grep fb shows:

Relevant pieces of kernel configuration:
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_FB_RIVA=y
# CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set
When the thing boots up it says:
rivafb: nVidia device/chipset 10DE0110
rivafb: Detected CRTC controller 0 being used
rivafb: RIVA MTRR set to ON

...although that little error came along, everything is working very
well in general. However, when I do "cat /dev/fb1" (which is completely
sick, I have no fb1 !?), I get following:
