XP SP2 prevents checked kernel execution

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev (More info?)

When I first tried this I ended up with activation hell, but I re-imaged the
mule from a backup and the checked build now loads and runs. So now I'm
using the checked build hal and kernel on SP2. Here's my boot.ini file:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP SP2
Professional" /sos /fastdetect /debugport=com1 /baudrate=115200 /noguiboot
/NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP SP2
Checked" /sos /fastdetect /debugport=com1 /baudrate=115200
/kernel=ntkrnlmp.chk /hal=halmacpi.chk
