Let me give some more information: my kernel was constructed to support 
framebuffers. I wrote a small program that opens the framebuffer, memcpy it 
and tries to write to it. I manage to pass the opening part, but I recieve 
the message that no device is found and so it is not a legal command. The 
use of the described above vmlinux doesn't change that error messge.

Thx,
Yuval
