Your Flash card (Flash=AT29C040A) is a 2Meg flash card. The release notes for 6.3 state that you need at least 8Meg flash to run this image.

You will have to purchase a 16Meg flash card (we don't actually make 8Meg flash cards for the PIX) and swap out the existing 2Meg flash card.

In the meantime to get your PIX up and running, you'll need to downgrade back to your old version until you can swap out the flash.
