Well, pb27r630 to 1.2b6 is a huge jump.  Try 1.11, which is the latest
release version.  If that works, try 1.2b3, which is the latest beta based
on FreeBSD 4.10.  This sounds like it's most likely a driver issue.

Beware that backward config conversions don't necessarily work, so you may
need to restore (or recreate) your pb27r630 config to go back to 1.11.
