When Apple dropped support for Atom processors in OS X 10.6.2, effectively killing Hackintosh netbooks, we knew that somebody would fix things. We didn’t know that it would happen so fast.
Just over a week after the update, Russian hacker “Tea” has made a patched kernel specifically for the Atom CPU. Simply copying this to the root level of your drive and rebooting should make everything work just like it did in 10.6.1. Of course, if you are suffering the endless gray screen on boot that characterizes the problem OS, then you’ll somehow need to get into the hard drive from the outside, perhaps by booting from the DVD or USB stick you used to hack your Mac in the first place.
Tea himself didn’t actually test out this kernel (which is the very lowest level of the OS) on 10.6.2, but some brave (desperate?) folks at the Insanely Mac forums tried it and it apparently works fine.
My Wind Hackintosh is still running the previous version of OS X 10.5 Leopard. I see no reason to update it, especially with all these shenanigans.
