Sigh...it would've been so much easier if our kernel wasn't so horribly 
screwed and ke/ps wasn't totally mixed up...

Now, this _really_ surprises me. It's almost impossible then it didn't 
crash before my patches. It crashes in PsInitializeThread() when calling 
ExGetPreviousMode() trying to initialize the reaper thread, which 
obviously succeeded earlier when creating the idle thread in 
PsPrepareForApplicationProcessorInit(). To my understanding the PRCB's 
CurrentThread should be the idle thread at that point. I'm really 
starting to become desperate :/

To my understanding, the idle process and idle threads should be one of 
the first things that should be set up, I believe it should be 
sufficient to have it in the microkernel only, I don't see a requirement 
that the executive would be needed for them. But that's not possible 
because we mixed up the kernel with the executive, it'd be so much 
easier if it wasn't.

If you want i'll revert all my changes and dump them, our kernel appears 
not to be mature enough :/ Unfortunately I don't know what else I can do 
to get it work, everything is just so messed up. I'd appreciate any support.

Best Regards,
Thomas
