I haven't seen viafb, but the white box is most probably the result of viafb switching to graphics mode when vgacon is still the owner of the console. The proper fix is not to switch to graphics mode at all (fbcon, or any other app will take care of switching to graphics mode) or switch to graphics modes only _after_ the call to register_framebuffer(). The call that switches the hardware to graphics mode is typically fb_set_par() in 2.6 kernels.
