Hackintosh Laptop

It looks more or less certain that the Snow Leopard 10.6.2 update is not compatible with hackintosh netbooks with a Intel Atom CPU. OSXDaily, AppleInsider, MacRumors, OSNews and Stellarola has reported on this.

I am left with 3 choices when the Snow Leopard 10.6.2 update comes out.

1. Don’t update. Stay with 10.6.1
2. Try to update and keep the 10.6.1 kernel or use a modified Snow Leopard kernel.
3. Time to try out Jolicloud or Moblin.

I think, I’ll go with the first choice. Don’t update until the early adopters finds a way to easily upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with a modified or older kernel.

The third choice, hmmm… maybe one day I’ll try those two Linux netbook distros just for fun. I can always restore my Snow Leopard 10.6.1 backup using Time Machine after trying out Jolicloud or Moblin.
