When Apple broke 10.6.2 compatibility with Intel's Atom Processors everyone who has a hackintosh netbook gasped.  Nobody knows yet if the breaking was intentional or accidental, but it did mean lots of questions as to the future of hackintoshes.  It also gave me concern with modding, if Apple can break compatibility with an Atom processor, couldn't it do that with any processor?  If you wanted to upgrade an older Intel Mac with a newer Intel chip, would you run into some of these same problems, or did Apple break the compatibility on purpose to put a hold to the hackintosh netbooks prior to a the official apple netbook/tablet.

Regardless, if you have a hackintosh running an Atom processor there is relief in sight.  A Russian blog has a new Kernel you have to download to get Atom processors back online in Snow Leopard.  Yes, that's right a new Kernel.  

I wouldn't put my computer online with a Kernel from Russia, but if you really want to keep your Atom Hackintosh Netbook running the latest OS X releases you might just have to.  However, that is how Linux started ... "I'm doing a (free) operating system", so who knows, it may turn into something.
