That should not have happened.  Maybe nouveau is blacklisted in some
file under /etc/modprobe.d.  Anyway, since fbdev works, *some*
framebuffer driver must be loaded already, and it's quite possible that
this driver keeps nouveaufb from working.

That should not have happened either, AFAIK.

Please show the content of any files under /etc/modprobe.d and the
output of "lsmod".
