FIX: The system cannot set the debug zones for a module that is loaded in "boot phase 0" in Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-base image on a device.
  • The image includes a module that is configured to be loaded in boot phase 0.
  • You set the initial debug zones in the registry for the module and then start the device.

In this scenario, you find that the system recognize the debug zones that are set in the registry. Additionally, the system cannot print expected debug information for the module.
