Summary: Blue screen with PAE forceenabled

Initial Comment:
I'm having a problem with the latest colinux snapshot and a kernel that is PAE forceenable and patched to remove the license restrictions preventing more than 4gb of ram.  Here's the article with a ton of information about the licensing restrictions and using more than 4gb ram with 32bit Windows. http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/license/memory.htm

When I try to start colinux while running this patched kernel and PAE forceenabled I get a bluescreen.

System is Windows Vista Enterprise Edition, 32-bit SP1 ntkrnlpa 6.0.6001.18488 with 4gb ram.

colinux runs perfectly under unpatched kernel without PAE forceenabled boot option.

I've attached the app I used to patch my kernel and run the necessary bcdedit commands to create a new boot entry.

It would be terrific if colinux could be made work in this scenario.  I have a Lenovo T400 laptop and normally I only have 2517MB total memory shown under task manger -> performance.  With PAE and the patched kernel I have 3989MB.  This makes a huge difference in performance and if colinux worked too I would upgrade to 8gb of ram.
