 I have the same board and a similar problem installing 7.0
 
 I was able to install by setting SATA controller from IDE to AHCI mode with
 ACPI. My workaround configuration is to set thermal polling rate to a very
 high number, so the exception occurs only once during boot.
 
 It is workable, but far from ideal:
 1. I cannot boot without ACPI (system hangs apparently trying to mount /)
 2. Thermal still does not work and throws exceptions. Perhaps there is a fix
 to ACPI table for this?
