 AFAIK, you will only get the CPU states with an SMP kernel. So if you
compile your kernel with SMP you will get it, otherwise not.

 On my single CPU G4 I get this:

 12:27am  up 187 days, 21:35,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.02
79 processes: 78 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
Mem:   897736K av,  808396K used, 89340K free, 0K shrd,   22436K buff
Swap:  262136K av,   25576K used,  236560K free        445332K cached

 and on a DualG4/450:

 12:31am  up 10 days, 15:23,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
86 processes: 85 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice, 100.0% idle
CPU1 states:  0.1% user,  1.0% system,  0.0% nice, 97.0% idle
Mem:   512740K av,  510036K used,    2704K free,  0K shrd,  1408K buff
Swap:  262136K av,   72944K used,  189192K free           426864K cached

 Both are running the same kernel, but one with SMP turned on.

Cheers,

Chris
