I don't know if it's me, or the fact i have a 'special' TT but the MiNT 1.15.1
kernel works just fine on my TT (special means: 64mbTTram, 4MbSTram, bigtower
Nova GFX card, Cattamaran) and is even more stable then the 1.15.0 kernel,
only thing is that while starting up, the tsr boot stalls when MiNT is loading 
it's xfs drivers... and at GlueStik 0.03b3 to be more exact.

software installed: (in boot order)

(running HDDRIVER)
SCSIDRV (in order to let CDLAB beta work... it's because of a bug)
Cattamaran GIOS
Fserial
NOVA drivers
NVDI
BOXKITE
MINT 1.15.1

   \|/
(regular stuff for mint/mint users)

NAES 1.2 (ttytab auto start)
THING 1.26

Running extras: (from either n_aes.cnf or as auto-start in thing)
TOSWIN
TASKBAR
SS
NewAlert
GEMJING
WAKEGEM2
Wdialog 2.0

accesories:
olga
1st guide
cyreldashboard (cattaramaran software)
cd-player (cd-tools)
control panel

Hope this all helps...
