Ideally of course I'd like to be able to upgrade.
I've installed the latest Lenny packages from proposed updates which contain the new default value for MMAP but I'm not able to reproduce your problem neither with VT-x enabled nor with VT-x disabled. Though on a Linux host. I suggest you to open a bug report. I can not see any general VBox restriction which should be triggered by preventing guest mmaps to addresses below 4096. When you open a bug report, please don't forget to attach the complete VBox.log file of this failing VM session. Thank you! Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
