The next line should be the init message from console:
"Console: colour CoCON 80x25"

With "colinux-debug-daemon.exe -d -p -f trace.xml" the output would read 
better.
You can convert it with "colinux-debug-daemon.exe -p <trace.txt >trace.xml"
But it contains non interestings as we can see from colinux-daemon output:
   using 'vmlinux' as kernel image
   using 'initrd.gz' as initrd image
   mapping cofs31 to \??\D:\programs\coLinux
   kernel boot parameters: 'root=/dev/ram0'
   colinux: launching console

Please try a higher debug level:
   colinux-debug-daemon.exe -d -p -s prints=31,misc=31 -f debug.xml
More about debugging finds in file "debugging.txt" in your installation, 
or online here:
http://colinux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/colinux/branches/devel/doc/debugging

For your problem I can not see a solution currently.

How ends the colinux-daemon.exe? Is it back to prompt? Or hangs it?

Exist the file "colinux-console-fltk.exe"?
Is it launched? Can you see the "Cooperative Linux Console" Window, like 
this:
http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Image:CoLinux-fltk-console-0.7.3.png
If not, can you execute colinux-console-fltk.exe manualy?
