This looks like a known problem with some laptop models. Please try starting the installer with 'linux DEBCONF-PRIORITY=medium' or 'expert'. You will be asked during hardware detection whether you want to start PCMCIA services. Answer 'Yes'. Next you will be given the opportunity to exclude address ranges. As you have a Dell, the solution is probably to enter 'exclude port 0x800-0x8ff' there. See [1] and [2] for reference.
