That particular kernel is a 64-bit kernel and BlueOnyx on CentOS5 is 32-bit. 
But yeah, there are probably some pre-compiled 32-bit kernels for CentOS5 
around, which might work. But third party kernels are often built for a 
specific purpose and maybe with options and switches different than what 
CentOS would consider "stock". Which could bite you in the back, or which 
might still work. So that requires a bit of experimenting.

If it were just shoving a new kernel onto the ISO, then I could do that for 
you. But like said: Without having a Mac Mini for testing the ISO this is 
somewhat futile, as it probably won't work 100% right first time around.
