How do you expect to see autochk's boot strings if you disabled DisplayString before
launching smss?

The correct order is this:

1) Enable Inbv + Disable Strings
2) re-enable strings if SOS is on
3) Create smss
4) Finalize boot logo
5) Set progressbar to 100%
6) Enable display strings
7) Wait 5 seconds for smss

Also all those DPRINT1s should be KeBugChecks with things like
SESSIONX_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, IOX_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, etc....
