CONFIG_HANGCHECK_TIMER:
The hangcheck-timer module detects when the system has gone
out to lunch past a certain margin. It can reboot the system
or merely print a warning.
Symbol: HANGCHECK_TIMER [=m]
Prompt: Hangcheck timer
Defined at drivers/char/Kconfig:978
Depends on: X86_64 || X86
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Character devices
It might me an idea to enable the watchdog devices these tend to be better
though it does mean crow-baring the watchdog package into the nfs-root
which wasn't pleasant as the packing was foobar so I had to tweak it.
