Maybe it just has one of those motherboards that isn't compatible. It happens every now and again. You can probably search google for "g6-400 linux" and get a bunch of mailing lists with people of similar problems. Is there a reason you are trying 8.2. Maybe you should try a distribution with a different kernel or recompiling the kernel you have. Just a few thoughts.
