I guess that installing the system worked fine, so fbdev was doing the job. And the initial issue only happened on the first boot of the freshly-installed system, using the nouveau driver, correct? What followed (installing nvidia to actually use vesa) is a bit confusing, I'm putting Sven (maintainer of the nouveau — not nvidia — driver) in copy since he might know better what failed after the installation.
