You might be able to get it to work if you boot with nopcmcia and then make changes like this. It worked for a guy with a C810 and a Debian installation:
From the linux-dell-laptops FAQ: http://www.whacked.net/ldl-faq/faq/
7. Help! PCMCIA is crashing my laptop!
Many distributions come with a PCMCIA card services package that isn't
compatible with many of the Dell's (the Inspiron 8000 has this problem
for one). The three things you need to do to try and fix it are (do
them in this order):
1) Edit your /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and change the "include
port" line to read as follows:
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
(i.e.: remove the range 0x800-0x8ff). This should cause the
lock-up to go away. (Thanks to Marc Swanson for this one)
1) Download the source for pcmcia-cs and recompile it, making
sure you answer Yes to the PnP Bios resource checking
question
3) If THIS isn't helping you fix it, and your
PCMCIA configuration file (under Red Hat this is in
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, under Debian it's
/etc/pcmcia.conf) has a line that says "PCIC=i82365",
then try changing it to say "PCIC=yenta_socket"
