I was able to install Linuxppc with kernel 2.1.103 on a SMP 43P
with no problems, but I was using a serial console (IBM 3151) and
not trying to play with any of the video/keyboard support.  I think
that the video is a standard IBM S3 onboard, but don't hold me to
that.

The system had both IDE/SCSI and both worked like champs.  You will
need to tune a few Boot Console parameters in order to bypass some
of the IBM internal checking, but that's more for a speed increase on
booting (good ol' IBM error checking) than for a Linux test.

If you have any specific problems, ask me.  I have a great deal of
experience w/ Linux running on many different rs6000 platforms.
