I've read here that i386 boots fine on the same hardware. I have one piece of dell equipment which insists on disabling ACPI timer and then everything works. Disabling ACPI totally seems undesirable under normal circumstances. I've done multiple installs of 6-STABLE on a 1950 without problems. One of them was used to create a custom install CD that I'm using today to install on several others. Haven't had to tweak anything at all in the BIOS. I missed the start of this thread.
