Freescale's iMX53 have a quickstart board sold for about $200 ($150 if you want it without the LCD). It has fully open source Linux, and the schematics are available for download from the FreeScale site (including the source files, in a format whose name I forget).
Full toolchain and BSP are available, though, of course, if you replace components, you will need to change the kernel's init code accordingly. This is the bane of all ARM architectures, however, and nothing specific to the iMX brand. It is considerably more powerful than the Sheeva plug, assuming that's of interest to you.
