Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Kernel Patched for Atom Processors

The InsanelyWind (formerly MSIWind.net) community has been hard at work to bring back Atom processor support to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Today, they have found a patched kernel that works with MSI Winds.

Downloading the required files, and loading the 10.6.2 kernel is very simple with the instructions:

1 ) Extract the kernel to the root of your hard drive
2 ) Rename the kernel “Mach_Kernel_10_6_2ATOM”
3 ) Open com.apple.Boot.plist with a plist editor
4 ) Change the plist to point to Mach_Kernel_10_6_2ATOM
5 ) Run the update.sh script
6 ) Move sleepenabler.kext to _disabled folder in the vanilla/EFIkext folder
7 ) Copy the sleepenabler.kext from the zip folder to vanilla/EFIkext
8 ) Run /.ae27.sh & ./update.sh script
