By replaceing isolinux in ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.iso with isolinux from ubuntu-7.04-server-i386.iso I was able to install 7.10 server on a machine with VIA C3.
Here are the steps: 1.) Create mount points for the ISO files # mkdir ~/ubuntu-7.10-server-i386 # mkdir ~/ubuntu-7.04-server-i386 2.) mount the ISO files # sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 ~/ubuntu-7.04-server-i386.iso ~/ubuntu-7.04-server-i386 # sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 ~/ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.iso ~/ubuntu-7.10-server-i386 3.) copy ubuntu-7.10-server-i386 to temporary directory # sudo cp -r ~/ubuntu-7.10-server-i386/ ~/my_ubuntu-7.10-server-i386/ 4.) remove isolinux from ubuntu-7.10-server-i386 # sudo rm -rf ~/my_ubuntu-7.10-server-i386/isolinux 5.) copy isolinux from ubuntu-7.04-server-i386 to ~/my_ubuntu-7.10-server-i386 # sudo cp -r ~/ubuntu-7.04-server-i386/isolinux ~/my_ubuntu-7.10-server-i386/isolinux 6.) create an iso from the modified tree # sudo mkisofs -ldots -o my_ubuntu-7.10-server-i386.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table ~/my_ubuntu-7.10-server-i386/ Hope that helps others to workaround this bug.
