I don't know the make of the motherboard without actually pulling the box apart. The system was designed and used in hotels for Internet access in rooms to start with... I picked it up after they were replaced about a year ago.
It's unusual, because it has a PCI chipset, yet only has a couple of ISA slots. I've been enabling PCI mainly out of habit and in case anything on the motherboard was using the bus (apparently not), but I wouldn't be surprised if the PCI chipset is basically broken, since it wasn't really needed.

Could be applicable, given that video and audio are handled on-board. I might have to open her up tomorrow and have a poke around.

I've had them on and off, they don't affect the booting problem.
I'll build a kernel using the BIOS access mode (as suggested by Alan) tomorrow and see if that clears it up.
