You could have used IRQ 9.  I do.

Hmm.  Why are you installing from floppy?

Here's the first difference from the dmesg from my 7500.  I'm using
pcic0 in polling mode, as some others have suggested.

At this point, I get the following additional messages:

+ unknown0: <PNP0c02> at port 0x80 iomem 0xfff80000-0xffffffff on isa0

+ unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources
+ unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources

This may be because this is 5-CURRENT.  It obviously doesn't change
very much.

OK, this looks pretty much like the Inspiron 7500.
