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.

Apple has never supported the Intel Atom CPU.
That it worked in the first place is purely luck.
The fact that the new versions of Mac OS X 10.6.x don't work with the Atom should be expected. And it should be no news.
One can't simply install Mac OS X on any Intel-based PC. It has to be the right CPU, the right components, etc. etc. With custom Apple hardware chips, this makes it more and more unlikely.
It was never meant to be in the first place since the license for Mac OS X prohibits it.
