installunixusb
I followed the procedure for using dd to put an OS X iso on a USB stick from Linux that is described here. The problem I'm having is that my Late 2006 Intel MacBook does not recognize the USB stick at all. I cannot use a Mac to install this because the Mac boots into a kernel panic(which is why I am reinstalling the OS).
command used that failed: sudo dd bs=4M if="./macosx" of=/dev/sdb && sync
Open Disk Utility (you can find it in the Utilities folder). Insert your USB drive, and select it in the left pane. Choose the tab "Restore" on the right side of the window, drag the image file into the "Source" field and the USB drive into the "Destination" field. Click the "Restore" button.
That should do it.
I downloaded the Crucial_m4_040H-04-00.zip and followed this tutorial and everything seemed to work for me. I hope this helps.

I think that you also need to bless that partition in order to make it bootable.
This is what I'd use on a Mac, but not sure if it still works on Linux box.
sudo bless -folder /Volumes/TARGET/System/Library/CoreServices
