10.6.2 Update But Not For Hackintosh
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 11:00 AM
"Apple today released Mac OS X 10.6.2, the second maintenance update for Snow Leopard, via Software Update and the company's software downloads page. The update brings several bug fixes, reportedly including one for a serious issue involving Guest accounts that has caused some users to lose all data from their primary user accounts."
This should fix the guest account bug, which caused your home folder disappeared if you had the guest account enabled. But this update isn't without problems, mainly for those with the Atom processor. So if you have made yourself a Hackintosh, you will want to wait on this update. In a related story posted by MacRumours: "If you have an official Apple Mac then go right ahead and update to Mac OS X 10.6.2, but if you have a Hackintosh Mac Netbook... well you will want to hold off. It has been confirmed that the final release of 10.6.2 kills Intel Atom support officially. Hackintosh Guru StellaRolla reports:'The netbook forums are now blowing up with problems of 10.6.2 instant rebooting their Atom based netbooks.'"
