Like you know Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 update breaks the support for Intel atom processor based net books. And we was waiting for a proper modded kernel for running the Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on net books. Russian programmer teateam has managed to create a kernel patch for Mac OS X 10.6.2 based on kernel 10.2.0, that allow the OS to be installed on netbook PCs running on Intel Atom CPU. Here we published the workaround to get 10.6.2 on your mini hackintoshes, before attempting the process read the whole article 2-3 times.

Remove SleepEnabler.kext in existing Mac OS X if it’s been used, as new kernel version 10.6.2 will cause kernel panic when install over old version of SleepEnabler.kext. You can also install a 10.6.2 modified SleepEnabler here. SE kext allows sleep functionality while AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement is disabled.
