This is fine, but /boot should be a Linux filesystem, and a different entity than the bootstrap. I know some distro's were combining the two, but I don't feel using hfs for /boot is really appropriate, as there is no provision for permissions etc. > How do I rescue or reload the Linux software.

Mount your "/boot", and do an rpm -V rpm -V kernel-2.4.18.6mdk.
