2.4.21 on Itanium2: floating-point assist fault at ip 400000000062ada1, isr 0000020000000008

[Ulrich Windl]

Hello,

I did try to find an answer is SuSE's support database, not in SAP's support 
database, and also did search Google, but could not find an answer:

We run SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (SLES8) on a HP rx4640 Itanium2 server 
with 2 CPUs (family: Itanium 2, model: 1, revision: 5, archrev: 0).

In syslog is do see periodic kernel messages (with no implicit priority) that 
read:

dw.sapC11_DVS02(14393): floating-point assist fault at ip 400000000062ada1, 
isr 0000020000000008

("dw.sapC11_DVS02" is a SAP R/3 work process (46D_EXT, patch 1754, for those 
who care)

Can anybody explain what this message means? Is it an application problem, or 
is it a kernel problem?

Regards,
Ulrich
