When you partition your disk in Linux, do not leave the space for Mac
OS X free, but create an empty partition of type Apple_HFS.  Then boot
the Mac OS X installer natively and install into this partition.

And if you change the partition table, always make sure that the
kernel re-reads it before you use your new partitions.  This usually
requires a reboot.
