The kernel is capable of dealing with HFS (Apple) partitions!

I suspect that you failed to zero the MBR before moving the drive from 
the Mac to the Linux box.  If you use the hfsutils or hfsplus-tools 
package you'll get a set of tools that can "see" the partitions for that 
drive. Thes tools are not installed by default. ("yum info *hfs*")

Good luck.
