I _think_ the problem here is aty128fb cannot setup an uninitalized card.
2.4 _might_ be able to help in this area.

You can check this 1st by seeing if dmesg mentions two cards.  If it does
try video=map:000111 (tty1-3 on fb0, 4-6 on fb1).  If you don't have two
cards showing up this will panic (!!!)
