The kernel will be in the /boot directory. How about emailing the
kernel to yourself from linux and then gettting it on email in Mac OS
and putting it in your BootX folder? That is all I can think of. If
you are running os X you could install find and install the RPM package
and then open the rpm from OS X and put it in your kernel folder.
