I guess you installed SP2. It's a known issue and will be corrected.
In the meanwhile, just disable DEP/NX if you intend to run colinux with
the Amd64 machine.

This can be accomplished by adding a /noexecute=AlwaysOff in your
boot.ini, as documented here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2mempr.mspx

Note that it's probable that it's not related to DEP/NX but with the
enabling of PAE (Physical Address Extensions), required by DEP/NX.
What it's not proved yet is if after fixing PAE it will run OK.

About not crashing on your Athlon XP (or any Pentium), please add /PAE
in your boot.ini so it can have the same behavior :D
