Compatible with 2.5.56=<

[Michael]

Are there any patches available, that will make dosemu compatible with the latest 2.5.x kernels?
Or maybe it's allready done in a patchset after 9?

Thanks.

I appologise I should have been more informative, when I try to run a VESA game(Broken Sword 1) it dies reporting
"ERROR: Unknown format on /proc/meminfo"
running patchset 1.1.4.9

you might want to do a
cat /proc/meminfo
as I'm not too happy about running a 2.5 kernel yet (no seperate test
machine here).

2.5 fixes a cpu freeze for my K6-3, besides it contains preempt, ALSA and XFS =)

Ok, it seems that the "MemShared" field was removed. This is easy to fix
since this field isn't used by DOSEMU.
