Solved! Thanks all
Let me summarize
THE PROBLEM:
Everytime I tried to install Mandriva 2007.0 from CD,
and click "Installation", the computer reboot,
and this occured again and again.
I've tried to add: pci=nomsi pnpacpi=off pnpbios=off,
I got the same symptom.
WHAT I DID:
- Try to click "Installation -- No ACPI(?)", still failed (thanks Miark)
- Do 'sanity check' (thanks Neill):
Doing dummy install using 2006 discs: no problem at all, easy installation
Doing installation using 2007.0 discs on another computer: success!
So, Mandriva 2006 is compatible with my computer but 2007.0 is not?
Or 2007.0 disc corrupt?
- Check md5sum --> ok! Reburn, the problem didn't go away ..
- Try using 'noapic' 'nolapic' 'acpi=off' (thanks Dennis), still ..
So, no solution at all.
What I did next is doing CD-installation on another computer,
save Mandriva 2007.0 files on that computer
(that I've downloaded from a Mandriva mirror before).
Then, I try doing installaton on the 'problematic' computer
using floppy disks (network.img & network-drivers.img)
accessing sources from another computer (via FTP).
Success!
(But, still, I don't know why I could not install via CDs.
So, in this case, 2006.0 is better?).

next time, burn the disks at about x4 speed.
my bet is the problem is more from well worn cd reader or writer drive
spindle wear and the difference between the 2 (reader and writer drives).
I agree with Harm, if you had moved the CD reader that was able to
install to the box that could not install, your problem may have moved
with the CD reader.
