The following reply was made to PR kern/10411; it has been noted by GNATS.

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. ...
