With "standard" i mean normal isolinux/grub as bootloader. That will definitely not boot. That the packages are compatible there is no doubt. No idea which kind of bootloader it will use, if it would be coreboot then it could be modified with special payloads to make it even win compatible.

As an example, take debian and google nexus one --- GN1 has a proprietary bootloader, and yet it can load a STANDARD debian linux install on that device (and I'm not talking about a chroot hybrid android/debian mess, I'm talking about the real thing.)
If the device ships from OEM with MEEGO installed, then it is little more than trivial to get ANY standard distro running on it. Especially if the CPU is x86. AT WORST, you'll need a customized kernel.
The only roadblock is the possibility of tivoization, but that goes far beyond the purpose of this discussion.

Found some wickedly good news re SGX535 poulsbo/moorestown GPUs....
From the horse's (intel's) mouth...
"This image will boot to XFCE utilizing the Linux VESA graphics driver and has been tested on Intel eMenlow (US15W) and Tunnel Creek platforms. A Beta release of the Intel EMGD 3D graphics driver for MeeGo on these platforms is expected in June 2010."
