rivafb
I recently updated my sarge box. I was quite sleepy so I did
#apt-get -y upgrade
After the upgrade, rivafb module gets loaded before nvidia. And nvidia
fails to load. I am wondering what causes rivafb to load since its a
module and I can't even find a line containing rivafb on
#grep -r rivafb /etc
I remedied it by moving rivafb.o so it can't be loaded. I didn't have
rivafb loading before my careless #apt-get -y upgrade. Please help me
find what is loading it, point me where and what to look for.
These are relevent lines from /var/log/kern.log:

assigned address 2

Aug 6 17:31:41 zeratul kernel: NVRM: this often occurs when rivafb is
loaded and claims the device's resources.
Aug 6 17:31:41 zeratul kernel: NVRM: try removing the rivafb module (or
reconfiguring your kernel to remove
Aug 6 17:31:41 zeratul kernel: NVRM: rivafb support) and then try
loading the NVIDIA kernel module again
