What is your hardware setup? (post dmesg)
I have bad experience with some old PC with nForce 2 chipset. This
machine is unbootable with 7.x kernel, so I am using it with 6.3. (it
can't boot even from 7.x CD)

I've tried to boot with 7.0 CD, it hung again...then I reboot with
ACPI disabled, it could be boot but said can't find the disk. So I
think this PC maybe with too old chipset.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
Well, it's VIA chipset you have, not nForce2 - <VIA 82C8363 (Apollo
KT133x/KM133) host to PCI bridge>. And it's not too old to run 7.0 as
far as I know. It's strange that kernel has some problem with your
hardware. Maybe you have buggy BIOS? Try to update to newest one and/or
at least load BIOS safe-defaults. Then you should try to boot with and
without ACPI enabled. Adding the following line to /boot/device.hints:
hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
may help if your system won't boot with ACPI enabled.
Don't give up yet! :)
