Sorry, that's just not how it works :)

FreeBSD 6.2 supports the same hardware, and has 2 years of further bug
fixes.  In addition 5.4 is no longer supported (it is not even the
most recent 5.x release!)

No, it indicates that there was another problem which: 

* may or may not be the same as yours.  "Similar panic string" is no
  indication of cause.

* may or may not be fixed, because "6.x" encompasses several years of
  releases and bugfixes.

Please update to 6.2 and file a bug report if the problem persists.
