So what is the best way to get linux working on this thing.  Since
kernel changes are needed to recognize the new 7455 chip, none of the
canned installers from SuSE, or YellowDog will work, will they?

I recall that the debian installer can use essentially any kernel. I think
the only thing it needs to work 100% is a tgz with a pack of modules that
matches the uname, which is easy enough to make/fake.
