 I will do another test on 9.0 (after rebuilding the ports), and

 problem, I may hope that it will appear after the release of 9.0 and
 its use in the real world.
 

I just updated my sources, removed ATA_CAM and added atapicam to my
kernel config, and see no difference in behavior.

All of the CD-playing apps are still failing to work properly.  Some
slight improvement, in that most of them are now at least recognizing an
audio CD in the tray, but they still won't play it.

 Hi list,
 
 I upgraded today kernel and world from fresh sources on my 8-stable
 amd64 system. I upgraded ports as  well. After that both firefox and
 chromium do not see linux-f10-flashplugin. I reinstalled manually
 emulators/linux_base-f10, www/nspluginwrapper and
 www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 and did other actions as described in the
 chapter 6.2.3 of the FreeBSD Handbook. The following conditions are
 met: linprocfs is mounted on /usr/compat/linux/proc, there is a
 softlink from /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/ pointing
 to /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so,
 ~/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so is created by the
 nspluginwrapper -v -a -i command.
 
 All browsers still treat the flash plugin as missing.
 What may be wrong?

Hmmm.  What's the output of:

/usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/freebsd/npconfig -l
   ^^
   substitute appropriate architecture
   as needed

Have you tried manually reinstalling the plugin with (ignore the
linewrap below):

/usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/freebsd/npconfig
-i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

(again, substitute appropriate architecture in the path to npconfig as
needed)

 Hi Conrad,

OK, your output differs from mine in only one respect.  Mine shows the
following:

/home/conrads/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
  Original
plugin: /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
Plugin viewer: /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Wrapper version string: 1.4.4-1

It was a while ago that I did the actual wrapper install, but if I
remember right, I simply copied npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
from /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins to /home/conrads/.mozilla/plugins.
You may want to try doing that and see if firefox/chromium will then
recognize it.

In theory, the system-wide install under /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
*should* work, but I seem to recall having problems with it, which was
why I tried putting it under ~/.mozilla/plugins.  Maybe it has
something to do with the fact that it's not a native plugin(?).  I
don't know, really.  But this has worked fine for me ever since, even
across upgrades.

Hope this helps.  Let us know how it turns out.

Actually, now that I think of it, I think the way I did it was this:

cd /home/conrads/.mozilla/plugins

/usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/x86_64/freebsd/npconfig
-i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

 so the sysctl variable has no affect, has this become a read only
 tunable again only settable in loader.conf?

To the best of my knowledge, this has *always* been a loader tunable,
not configurable on-the-fly.

Myself, ever since the introduction quite some time ago of the
friendly setting of 0 (for unlimited mbufs), I've always used that in
my /boot/loader.conf, i.e., kern.ipc.nmbclusters=0.

Can't really comment on your other questions, I'm afraid.  :-)

 if yes then their is a bug
 where it shows no error on sysctl command, or is it suppoedbly
 settable then their is a bug where it doesnt work or netstat -m shows
 inccorect info.  Or is this setting been depreciated?
 
 Also if the machine stops responding, and no kernel panic logged does
 it mean a livelock/deadlock?  Have been seeing issues on 3 diff 6.0
 release servers which simply go dead.  2 were rolled back to 5.4 and
 immediatly became stable and I left this one on 6.0 to try and resolve
 problems but diffilcult with no log entries.

   No, the problem it's only with the reboot command.
 
  Are you using ACPI?
  Have you ensured you are using the latest BIOS for you system?
 
I turned off the ACPI from the BIOS. (but from the dmesg it seems
 on)

You need to add a line to /boot/device.hints to disable acpi:

hint.acpi.0.disabled=1

FWIW, I've been seeing the same problem on both my 32-bit Athlon box
and on my Athlon 64, both running 5.4-STABLE.

One thing I've discovered is that the machine will reboot properly if
booted in single-user mode.  It appears to be only a problem when
shutting down from multi-user mode.  The shutdown process gets as far
as outputting the Uptime: line, and then just hangs.

Well, that's what you get for having a name that's made up of two first

Seriously, where I work (the U.S. Postal Service), people with names
like yours cause no end of confusion and grief, particularly when it
comes to the forwarding of mail, as our oh-so-cleverly designed (read:
brain-damaged) Central Forwarding System (CFS) uses the first four
letters of the last name, along with the last three digits of the old
address (leading zero-padded, if need be), to distinguish one forwarding
order from another.  And then you have magazine and newspaper
publishers, as well as other correspondents, who choose to invert the
order of names, for reasons known only to them and their Higher Power,
if they have one.  You can just imagine the uproarious, madcap fun that
ensues.

Sorry, but I've no sympathy at all.  Bloody double first-namers. 
You'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.  :-)

 Swapping to a text console then back to X.org fixes the problem. 
 Dunno if it's an issue with FreeBSD, the card, the nv driver, or X.org
 itself.

My amd64 box, running 6.0-CURRENT, has had only very minor problems
related to the nForce3 chipset, mainly some weirdness with ACPI.  Other
than that, the box works fine; I've experienced no majorly bizarre
