Comment 1 Janora Thornton 2003-12-12 20:59:17 UTC

This is on a Compaq DL380 with the standard RAID controller.  There
may or may not be data shown upon installation.  Any activity, such as
removing one of the two drives (RAID 1 config) and replacing it seems
to trigger the problem -- if it isn't there on installation already. 
Upgrading to RHEL ES 3.0 doesn't seem to make any difference.

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2004-02-26 13:26:32 UTC

For me this behaviour seems to stem from the fact that both cciss and
cpqarray drivers aren't implemented as SCSI devices but as their own
block devices. Somehow these block devices don't get taken into
account for /proc/stat.

I don't know why Compaq/HP did the implementation that way, this has
caused confusion and problems in many other cases as well :-(.

Anyway this entry is a duplicate, we'll continue tracking it there.
