Despite reports to the contrary, current Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard builds do not support the Intel Atom processor. The report that support had returned is a fake, and the most recent build 10C540 still does not support the Atom processor. C'est tout.

since when is atom an architecture? it's still i386/x86 or is it?
What is special about the kernel that does not apply to the rest of the software stack?
When Atom chips first came out, most Linux distributions would not run on them. There were special projects which took normal Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu) and re-compiled everything with a special compiler flag.

It is not just the kernel, it is also all of the libraries and even applications that must support the processor architecture. The entire software stack.
