The first methods of installing Mac OS X 10.6.2 appear on Atom netbooks

Sad Mac - Intel AtomAs planned, Mac OS X 10.6.2 came out with support for Atom processors, but it didn't take long to paint the first articles explaining how to circumvent the changes imposed by Apple. However, somehacks that still make it possible involve replacing the kernel of the new update by the previous one, which not only prevents the application of the corrections made in this area, but also significantly impairs the stability of the system. In other words, worse than being patient and staying at 10.6.1.


The advantage is that the instructions to do this not only enable a secure upgrade for Hackintosh netbook owners, but also allow an Atom machine stopped due to the second update of Snow Leopard to be able to work again. However, there is already a utility that appliespatches for running the 10.2.0 kernel on Atom machines, although it still does not show positive results for all who tested it.

There are users who reported kernel panics during the execution of these patches, so whoever needs to run Snow Leopard on netbooks should wait a little longer. A definitive correction should come out in a few weeks, as usual.
