A little summary:

To disable the BIOS virus protection is the key to make installation working
on AMD-K7 + ASUS K7V for all versions after 3.5 and 4.x.

But this seems a bug because 2.2.8-RELEASE can install on such new hardware.
When 2.2.x branch was out of archive, the K7 even has not born yet.
So, must be the new installation introducing a bug to cause the problem.

Here to thank all people has replied for the help,
