James,
Actually we noticed that we've been running some old setup for our PXE boot/kickstart setup, so we're going to try just doing
it with UEFI and see where that gets us.

Not that I'm enamored of it, but why BIOS and not UEFI? Dell's running
newer m/b that like UEFI over BIOS.
Also, have you looked in the BIOS to see what those settings are?

Try updating the BIOS/UEFI image first. Dell has been notorious for requiring BIOS updates for things like video cards and microprocessor code updates. You may have to install a newer BIOS before you can get the OS on.
