when i use 'top', it displays cpu time just including: user, system, nice and idle. the total time of the fields displayed doesn't equal 100%
where's other cpu time info gone ? in Redhat, we have more: irq, softirq, iowait

yes ... you use the t toggle when top is running to get a line like this
Cpu(s): 1.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% sii
and if its not 100% is usually like only 0.1% off (acceptable rounding up/down)
the total time of the fields displayed doesn't equal 100%
do you mean "time " or "percentage points"?
how many percentage points is it off by ?
other cpu info in redhat ?? i dont have redhat on this pc but ...
are you sure its using top and not (a modified) atop ? atop has extra cpu stuff

how do you get this kind of output? in arch, the "top" command only output:
user, system, nice, idle percentageshow can i get the iowait percentage etc. ?

try grab sysstat or mpstat. looks like redhat incorporate these as standard.
top maybe makes use of these externally.
not sure why arch hasnt got this hooked up, but hey, if you know what you want by way of a service, you can always look up the packages independantly.
Try ...
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mpstat/

http://directory.fsf.org/sysadmin/monitor/sysstat.html
and so on, via google.
