I tried installing the desktop version on the netbook. It seems that the system hangs whenever a process involves sdc3.

It seems you have issue before reboot at end of installation process.
@marcus: what's sdc3 as device and partition ?
At which screen do you have exactly the problem ?

There is not device attached to sdc3. The only sdc device is sdc1, which is the usb drive that ubuntu 10.10 is on. Unless the system is mistaking the usb mouse as sdc3.

oh. the problem exists through the start up process. i was able to see that it hung on sdc3 after i installed the desktop edition which displayed startup processes. after the ubuntu splash screen (with 5 dots), i couldn't see where it hung.

If sdc3 is seen as a disk, perhaps the startup process failed when he tried to mount partition.
When the splash screen appear; could you press <ESC> key to see what are last messages ?
Last message when is works is usually a battery test report.
If it failed after partitions are mounted, you could get information from log files in /var/log.

Added a second existing bug. I used the work-a-round mentioned there (max_cpu_state=0). This seems to work for me so far.

Can you help with this problem?
