I would certainly try using buffer=3Dstatic, since the kernel you are
using has CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=3Dy, and the documentation states that mapped
is only available for machines without CONFIG_HIGHMEM[4|64]G enabled.
If buffer=3Dstatic doesn't work, there's always buffer=3Ddynamic to fall
back on as well.

Perhaps not to fix this specific problem, but you should upgrade if
possible to gain the many other fixes which have gone into the
filesystem since 1.5.6 (of which there have been more than a few).
