 Thanks. It seems that kernel problem in specific environment,
 but in d-i, some "workaround" to avoid such situation should 
 be provieded for users if we can. 

 Anyway I'll read it carefully later, again.

 It's interesting.

 But now we cannot get any updated firmware  from dell.
 see http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&SystemID=PWE_420SC&os=BIOSA&osl=en&deviceid=159&devlib=1&category=1&releaseid=R84250
 It is just "Initial Release", no updates are inclued in it.
