Floating Point math is not allowed to be used in the kernel or
modules, so probably there is no code to format floats.  rt_printk
must be part of Realtime linux?

Do the floats print OK if you print them in your userspace program?

Why do you want to do this in the kernel?  It can be done from
userspace (man 3 syslog ...)
