No

In the 2.5.46 and later and in the 2.6.x kernels are
some changes in the memory management and in the
/proc/meminfo file. Can you, please, add support for
this new interface?

Under this kernels I have problem especialy with
FoxPro, which is using DPMI memory model.

Sincerely
Jan Marek

    Please specify the DOSEMU version you are using.
    As far as i know this problem was fixed a while ago. please
    also apply:
    http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3207814&forum_id=8386

    otherwise DPMI won't work even with correct meminfo parsing.

    My version of dosemu is 1.0.2.1-15, which is .deb package
    from Debian Sid distro.
    I have not problem in DPMI initialization, but when I'm
    starting FoxPro 2.5, application immediatelly stopped and
    dosemu crash immediatelly too.

    Thank you for advice...
    Sincerely
    Jan Marek

    Please try version version 1.2.0rc1 (1.1.99.1) from source,
    and apply
    the patch I refer to below.

    The 1.0 series is dead -- it is not going to be adjusted to
    kernel 2.6, because by the time kernel 2.6.0 is out we'll
    surely have a proper version 1.2.0 too.

    Nope, we lost :)
    2.6 is out, but dosemu-1.2 which is compatible with 2.6 is
    not.

    rc2 is out though and no complaints so far.
    this one runs on 2.6.x for sure.
