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.
