You get "still waiting for root device error"? That's weired as the ApplenForceATA.kext is 3rd party driver and not supposed to be overwritten by systemupdates.

As -f doesn't work & I don't know the content of the packages your disto uses, my first attempt would be to try to boot one of your two DVDs and and see if it's possible, to deselect everything (including base system and so on) excluding the nForce Chipset driver. This will make the install going to fail, but that doesn't matter. I hope it'll do the fix.
