Same results exactly:

ipmi0: <System Management BIOS> at iomem 0xfd040-0xfd05e, 
0xcffbc000-0xcffbcc3a on isa0
ipmi0: SMBIOS Version: 2.04, revision: 2.04
ipmi0: KCS mode found at io 0xca8 alignment 0x4 on isa
ipmi0: couldn't configure smbios io res

I'd guess Dell probably "fixed" something in the BIOS.
Do you also have the random system hangs when unloading the module?
