It looks like you have compiled in both rivafb and vesafb into your
kernel. rivafb starts first, vesafb second and vesafb then complains
rivafb has taken all memory. vesafb then can only use a very low-grade
resolution. Recompile your kernel without vesafb, would be my
suggestion.
Good luck,
Jurriaan
