Trying kicking off the installation with "mem=512M" or something to that
effect. We've seen a couple of cases where ACPI probing is causing
problems with installations and the footprint is that the machines
freeze during formatting. What's actually happening in the background
is that all of the memory is getting eaten up. I haven't seen this
reported on a Dell so can't guarantee this will fix your problem but
give it a try.
