It sounds like a kernel issue, with borken hardware. You may try to
disable framebuffer, see boot screens. Background: when the first screen
appears and fb is enabled, the installer looks for translation catalogs
on CDROM drives. Maybe some of your CD drives is broken, or the kernel
freezes because of broken IDE driver or chipset, or whatever. As said,
it's a DELL, you can never be sure when such things appear there.
