    -> Please file a bug against fai-kernels...

Do we really need the hangcheck module in the default fai-kernel? IMO
no. If you have a serious kernel problem with your fai kernel, you
can build a new fai kernel yourself. But maybe your problem is related
to bug #307147 and so we have a workaround in fai and with kernel
2.6.11 this bug should be fixed.
