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! :)
