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.
