You have to soft-mod it for now because there's no solution for it yet. I have the same problem, same wiikey2 and 4.2, and we gotta wait for an update and in the meantime find another way I guess. The instructions to do all that are posted under the Guides. Good luck.

Just follow one of the guides for if your already on 4.2 and you didn't use the waninko's safe 4.2 updater.

I have a Wiikey 2 and softmod, and updated to 4.2 with no troubles.

I had first just updated the shop channel to 4.2, then I used the Waninko's safe updater

I already had homebrew channel installed etc, updated of course to the latest 0.6 and Wad manager 1.5

So yeah my Wiikey 2 works fine, you just can't play other regions with it, which I don't anyway.
You can use the homebrew backup loaders for that.

Its always a good idea to find out about the System Menu updates before you do them.
