Two "PASS!" lines expected (and you'll get them when running a kernel with
patch applied).

I'm going to assign the bug to me..

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

in 2.6.18-77.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Don.  Grabbed that 2.6.18-77.el5 rpm and installed on my hp zx2000 workstation. 
The floating point problem is fixed (my test case passes).

But some other stuff in there doesn't play well with the rest of my system as X 
refused to start.  I'm running a fairly pure RHEL5 (no updates) ... so maybe 
some bits are too old to work with the new kernel?

X server failed to start with 2.6.18-71 on my Hitachi Coldfusion 4s4u..
After reverting patch for bug#240006, the X server works again:

linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-allow-cacheable-mmaps-of-legacy_mem.patch:Bugzilla: 240006
linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-avoid-unsupported-attributes.patch:Bugzilla: 240006
linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-fail-mmaps-with-incompat-attributes.patch:Bugzilla: 240006
linux-2.6-ia64-ioremap-rename-variables-to-match-i386.patch:Bugzilla: 240006
linux-2.6-ia64-validate-and-remap-mmap-requests.patch:Bugzilla: 240006
linux-2.6-xen-ia64-make-ioremapping-work.patch:Bugzilla: 240006

The X server needs to be updated.  The changes Luming references in comment #10
and the X server changes were made at the same time.  I think somebody (ajax
perhaps) posted the updated X server rpms on people.redhat.com.

I also tried upstream 2.6.23-rc8 , get same problem on the hitachi coldfusion
4s4u. So the patch series should have been upstream for a while...

Doug, could you please point me a link to the page to test the updated X server.
the people.redhat.com/ajax doesn't work.

The updated X server rpm's can be found here:

installed kernel-2.6.18-77.el5,
but installing xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.32.el5.ia64.rpm ends up error:
Failed dependencies:
        kernel < 2.6.18-60.el5 conflicts with xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.32.e
l5.ia64

Luming, we currently have xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.34.el5 in the xorg-x11-server
erratum at http://errata.devel.redhat.com/errata/show/6891.  Can you retest with
that package and kernel-2.6.18-77.el5 please?

re-checked the kernel packages, found that the box has multiple kernel packages
installed, some kernel like 2.6.18-53 and 44 are older than 2.6.18-60.el5...
And the rpm installation dependency check seems to require all kernel packages
installed >=2.6.18-60.el5.

Now I have installed xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.32.el5.ia64.rpm , and the X
server works with the kernel-2.6.18-77.el5

hello, what's the latest update of this bug?

hello， where can I get kernel-2.6.18-77.el5? thanks !
