hwinfo and lspci provide similar info to lshw. They can be found in sys-apps/hwinfo and sys-apps/pciutil. For grins, whenever I restart my computer I run hwinfo, lshw, lspci, and a variety of other utilities and save the results. That way, when next something goes wrong, I'll have a record of when things went right and will (hopefully) be able to recover.
