Well, I obtains the same values for two different RH9 installation:

# uname -a
Linux XXXX 2.4.20-13.9smp #1 SMP Mon May 12 10:48:05 EDT 2003 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
# elvtune /dev/hda6

/dev/hda6 elevator ID 1
read_latency: 64
write_latency: 8192
max_bomb_segments: 6

# uname -a
Linux XXXX 2.4.20-20.9smp #1 SMP Mon Aug 18 11:32:15 EDT 2003 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
# elvtune /dev/sda7

/dev/sda7 elevator ID 5
read_latency: 64
write_latency: 8192
max_bomb_segments: 6

I'll try on my laptop.
