I've corrected myself already in previous replies, but to try and put
this to rest, I was mistaken when I said that 5.4 was required.
Others have already confirmed that clean 5.3 installations may be
directly upgraded to 6.0.

The problem experienced by the OP must have had another cause.  The
upgrade to 5.4 may have corrected it for him.
