Surely, you can !

The kernel is installed by the script DEFAULT, which uses the variable
kernelimage. If a file /fai/files/packages/$kernelimage exists, this
package is used, otherwise it's assumed that the variable contains a
kernel version like "2.2.19". You can set this variable in class/*.var
scripts which also uses classes. Look at class/ATOMCLIENT.var or
class/pittermaennche.var
