New Actually, during the Debian boot sequence...
there are some messages that have to do with the chipsets on the motherboard.

"I have seen them!" :)

New That's not what I meant.
The chipset can be identified, but that doesn't tell you the actual motherboard. For instance, my Asus P2B-L has a BX chipset, but so does the P2B and the P2B-LS, as do many other boards from other manufacturers.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New If possible, get info from the POST screen.
Write down anything that looks like a serial number, and then google on that. I've had some luck hunting down the original manufacturer based on that information.
In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others?

Therin lies the true measure of a man.
