The Day The Hackintosh Netbook Died: 11-09-09
You can almost hear the words echoed by Hackintosh netbook owners around the world: "We are here today to celebrate the life that was the Hackintosh netbook."
It's official: Apple has indeed killed support for the Intel Atom processor, as leaked before the ill-fated 10.6.2 Snow Leopard update was released yesterday.
OS X Daily reports that many Hackintosh netbook owners found that after installing the update their tiny computers wouldn't even boot past the Apple logo without hanging up.
It goes without saying, but if you have a Hackintosh netbook, you will not want to install the latest update if you wish to keep your machine in working order.
For Macintosh owners, however, the 10.6.2 update does provide some important bug fixes. You can read more about the Snow Leopard update here.

too bad, the only reason i might someday save my hard earned monies and spend them on a "real" mac is my 900HA snow leopard nanomac. Plus, you might want to post that a workaround using either the 10.6.0 or 10.6.1 kernels has already been shown to work. - update - and is working on mine now - thanks to meklort.
