Description
I upgraded from 3.1.8 to 3.2.0. When starting an existing VM (WindowsXP or Linux (Fedora13) from the GUI, the VM console opens and then closes follwed by a popup window with the following error message... GMMR0AllocatePages failed to allocate 1 pages (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)
My host is OpenSolaris snv_134. This same behavour occurs with 3.2.0 and 3.2.2.
When I go back to 3.1.8, all is well.
I found a forum message describing a similar problem with a suggestion to check VDI and Machine paths. I did that and found them to be correct. I also checked the Storage controller as suggested and found it to be correct as well.

Same effect here with solaris 10. I am getting the idea it depends on what processor use have. The machine which has this problem is a pentium-m, newer processors do work.

You may be correct regarding the processor type. I have been using an old AthlonXP 2600+ up until yesterday. I have coincidently had an OpenSolaris shutdown failure followed by the much feared and dreaded boot-archive sync problem that I couldn't recover from. Facing an OS reinstall I decided to do the long overdue hardware upgrade (AMD Phenom II 965 + 4GB) so I can run more VMs. That is all done now and I've just installed VirtualBox 3.2.4 as well. This is all working well now.
So, I do not know if 3.2.4 or the hardware upgrade (or both) fixed the problem for me but I do know it is fixed.

As I did try 3.2.4 on the same Hardware - I can say it the processor upgrade.

This is most likely the case where the 32-bit vbox driver on Solaris trying to use unimplemented memory allocation methods. I'll try to get this fixed soon. Thank you for the report.

Replying to ramshankar:
Fixed in SVN and will be part of the next VBox release. Thanks.
I have installed the latest release 3.2.4 on OpenSolaris 2009.06 and I am still seeing this problem. This is not an upgrade. Both the Host OS and VirtualBox are fresh installs.

The fix is not in 3.2.4, it was fixed yesterday and will be part of the next VirtualBox release.

(Un)fortunately no. If I get some free time tomorrow I will try upload a build with the fix for you guys, don't hold your breath for that though.
