Yes pointers, but i do not know what chip is used on this type of
motherboard. That you could possably see for yourself with 'demsg',
that is a small program which will read the kernel buffer ring, its only a
small buffer and the kernel keeps writing messages to it, which in turn
means the boot messages may not be there anymore.
In that case check your logs, /var/log/messages syslog.
Redhat copies the kernel buffer ring to /var/log/dmesg, so if you have
Redhat you can always read that file to get boot info.
In the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound directory i did a grep for "Dell"
it produced;

motherboard)
NM256: Dell Latitude CPi, CPt (various submodels)
NM256:but don't go whining to me, NeoMagic, Sony, Dell, or anyone else
NM256:is found on some Dell Latitude laptops (the CPt, and apparently
This means some Dell laptops use the NM256 driver.
On the otherhand a lot of recent motherboards have a AWE64 compatable chip.
Maybe someone on this list has one of these boards and can tell you just
what to do.
