Bjorn is right, you only need emumodule for a 'full-feature' dosemu.
If you neither need DPMI nor WIN-3.1 nor IRQ-passing nor background debugging nor stressed timer access, then you should compile dosemu _without_ REQUIRES_EMUMODULE.
Anyway, NEVER let kerneld load/unload the _current_ version of emumodule, it is not aware of such a condition and may get unloaded while 'dos' is active ( which may crash you system ). Emumodule is not a 'drivers', it's sort of (ugly but needed) on-the-fly-kernel-patch to overcome lack of kernel support.
Better load it at boot-up via ./dosemu/load_modules.sh.
