I am seeing this problem as well.

ASUS P2B-DS, 2 x PII-400/512, disks moved from an HP Vectra XU/200 that
worked just fine.  I was running a mildly modified 3.0R on the Vectra
which reported statistics correctly.  Moving these to the P2B-DS broke,
for reasons unknown, since I have other P2B-DS's on 3.0R which report
statistics fine.

I then upgraded the box to 3.1R since I thought maybe my mods were causing
the problem, but it is still broken.

Oddly, it appears to work fine in single-user, although I didn't play with
it for more than a few minutes.

More oddly, load average appears to report properly.

If any bug whacker would like access to the box in question, it can be 
arranged easily enough (its a games machine).  I'd sure like to see a fix
for this.
