Your config does no matter for your problem, but would say here:
The position of kernel= can be in all lines.
Only the old coLinux 0.6.4 needs it as first command line prameter to 
switch from XML file to  the Command line args.

You can remove the text "\DosDevices\" from your configuration. The 
config has such lines than:

   kernel=vmlinux
   cobd0=I:\coLinux80\Debian-etch.ext3.3gb
   cobd1=\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5
   ...
   cofs0=C:\
   ...

Users from 0.6.x can use the tool XML2CFG to convert the XML file into 
new format:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98788&package_id=217177&release_id=476227

Yes, colinux-debug-daemon is more to watch the background daemons. You 
can run it before you runs "net start colinux". But in the crashing case 
it can not save the datas to file. You can use it over Ethernet and 
catch all datas on a second PC. But this is some times also not helpful: 
The network dosn't send the last packets...

After colinux debugging is enabled (misc=31,prints=31) all debugs from 
inside coLinux-NT-Kernel (linux.sys) will also be see on DebugView from 
www.sysinternals.com "Miscellaneous Utilities". This tool can also run 
over network on second PC.
