I'm not sure, But this may come from the pcmcia-card-controler. I had
some problems installing woody on a DELL INSPIRON. I changed the
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts:

#
# Local PCMCIA Configuration File
#
#----------------------------------------------------------------------

# System resources available for PCMCIA devices

# port 0x800-0x8ff macht Probleme auf dem Dell (KaRo 3.9.2002)
# ============================================================
#include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

# High port numbers do not always work...
# include port 0x1000-0x17ff

# Extra port range for IBM Token Ring
include port 0xa00-0xaff

# Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available

[... rest is untouched ...]

I changed it in a way that port 0x800-0x8ff is not tested anymore.
(BTW it's not my solution, found it somewhere in the net and put it on
my site ;-)

I think it's a special DELL hardware problem. So hope this helps

Ciao,
