Ok, I tried bootcd-58635-dbgwin.iso, what 0.3.15 was branched from, and that installs perfectly. The latest trunk also installs perfectly, but BSODs after starting the GUI apparently due to recent check ins that have nothing to do with uniata or 0.3.15.

I have installed lastest trunk on a Pentium II 400 with 192mb of RAM WITH an AGP ATI Rage IIc with 8mb and a 3com 3c905 NIC.

It installed but wouldn't boot completely when I had it connected to a Belkin 8 port OmniView PRO3 KVM but when I removed the keyboard/mouse USB cable from the KVM (leaving the monitor cable connected) and added a PS/2 keyboard/mouse it booted up and let me do setup. It's looking really good. I haven't had a chance to find the nic driver or test any software yet but I will do that as soon as I can. This is the first time I have gotten hardware to look this good. I will try the RC's next.

Not a lot of regressions then!Also, if those who have issues booting or at GUI stage may give us a log, it will be really really handy :)
USB problems, incompatibilities are wellcome too :)

Well, I went back and tried to narrow down that issue I was having with the 0.3.15 RC2, but I can't seem to replicate the issue now. Perhaps it was just a bad CD-RW disk. So you can scratch that. Sorry I haven't had more time to test.

I tested r58857 on real hardware and the installation worked fine,
but when the system restarted, the GUI appeared shortly and then a BSOD came up.

My CD-ROM drive is slave and my HDD is master...

I've just tested 0.3.15RC2 on my computer and all I get is a black screen - I'll try testing the latest trunk builds to see if this time I don't get a BSOD error if I do I'll report the screen debug report at jira.reactos.org

Update: I've just tried bootcd-58859-dbg and it just goes to black screen, and unfortunatly it means I can't get a debug report back to the devs.

Please try disabling all the usb devices, anc card readers if any.
Try to run the machine with the minimun devices attached.

And if I do that how am I suppose to take a debug screen dump report? My keyboard & mouse is a USB, without it I can't control the options at boot.

Yes, I have the same problem in my USB keyboard in bootCD, in any keypress attempt only NumLock blink and that's over.
