kernel 2.4.9-34 ia64 bugfix list?

hello-

i'm currently running Linux 2.4.9-31smp on my redhat7.1 ia64 box.  i was
looking into upgrading to redhat's 2.4.9-34 kernel, but i cannot seem to
find a list of ia64 bugs that are fixed by it.  does anyone know of such
a list?  i'm currently having random oopses and mapped out banks of
memory with this machine so i dont want to stray from a supported redhat
configuration.

also, i get lots of error messages about floating point assist faults.
for example:

fdtd(21172): floating-point assist fault at ip 40000000000686e1

what are the ramifications of this "fault"?

thanks for any pointers,

rob.
