I'm sorry if this has already been discussed; looked in the archives but
didn't see it.
I'm running an old version of dosemu: 1.1.3.
My problem is that while it
starts ok with the 2.6.5 kernel, when I try to run some (but not all
programs) I get the following in my boot.log and dosemu immediately exits:

ERROR: Unknown format on /proc/meminfo
ERROR: Unknown format on /proc/meminfo
leavedos(5|0x5) called - shutting down

I only really need dosemu any more for two programs, one of which still
works ok with the 2.6.5 kernel. Everything works fine with 2.4.25 but I'd
like to quit going back and forth between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. I did put
"mapfile" in the "mapping" entry in dosemu.conf and this did solve my
problems with earlier 2.6 kernels.
Given issues I had with getting my serial ports working and setup issues
because I use my own mysdos-6.2 instead of freedos, it wasn't really fun
setting this up in the first place so I don't want to have to install a
new version unless I absolutely must do so. I installed from source
originally (though don't now have the source on my machine) because the
debian package then available was an even older version and didn't
cooperate with my serial ports. I see
that the current debian binary looks like an up-to-date version, but would
require me to recustomize my configuration again and re-work the setup for
my msdos partition. Certainly possible, but work I'd like to avoid if it's
just for the sake of one program.
Is there anything I can do in my current dosemu.conf to solve the problem
or do I need to bite the bullet and upgrade?
Thanks.
