Subject: Why do I have a /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle under kernel 2.6.24 with a Pentium M processor ?

I'm asking b/c this confuses the current sysstat up to version 8.0.4. An

$ ls -lR /sys/devices/system/cpu/

gives :

That would be bad. Please define "confuses"?

The sysstat reports 2 CPUs : cpu0 contains the expected data, cpu1 has zeros.

I tested succesfulyl version 8.0.4.1 sent by Sebastien Godard which solved this
issue, but that version seems not to be released until today.
