At a bare minimum, I'd try using CentOS 7 1804: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/

thanks; after some waiting time, 1804 now keeps repeating "dracut initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts" for a while, then drops into the emergency shell. no suspicious error messages in the log.

did change SATA mode from ATA to AHCI in the BIOS, but this didn't change anything.

Is the bios on the Dell Latitude E6500 up to date.

I run CentOS-7 on a bunch of dell laptops with intel video. Not that specific model though.
