That error occurs because OS X 10.6.4 no longer officially supports Atom processors (support ended with 10.6.2).
To fix the error, you need a patched kernel:
For me, I was able to successfully upgrade from 10.6.0 to 10.6.4 and everything works (wireless, sleep, sound, booting from internal hard disk, etc.) However, I am unhappy with 10.6.4 because it seems to have introduced some very unstable network connections. When I launch Terminal and do "ping google.com," I get some horrible latencies. When I was on 10.6.0, the network was very responsive.
Therefore, I am doing the install over and am sticking with 10.6.0 (or 10.6.1 if there are no network issues).

Follow-up:
I have the AW-NE766 wireless card (listed as Atheros in OS X). I stayed with 10.6.1 because 10.6.2 and 10.6.4 caused terrible ping latency times (800 milliseconds) while 10.6.0 and 10.6.1 had no major wireless issues (latencies of 48 milliseconds).
When the laptop wakes up from sleep, it usually doesn't auto-connect to the wireless network, but it's not a big deal because I can just go up to the AirPort icon in the menubar, turn off wireless, and turn it back on; the laptop will connect to my previous base station (I'm using a WEP password).
For people having issues with the strange error after double-clicking on VoodooHDA.prefPane, make sure to reboot first to have OS X load the VoodooHDA.kext extension, then install the prefPane.
I used NetbookInstaller 0.8.3 (NOT anything newer) as that was appropriate for 10.6.0 and 10.6.1.
Thank you, will1384, for your awesome instructions. The Hackintosh works well. The last order of business is that I'm having issues installing Windows XP. Tried both Windows 7 and XP but haven't gotten that to work yet.
