Hi,

I already opened a bug report (see bug #706789) but i haven't answers for
the moment. So i send this message to know if someone had this problem.

I know that in this page (
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata) a problem with UEFI
and Debian installer for AMD64 systems.

Explainations about Win7 and Wheezy installation with UEFI mode :

1- I have a laptop bought in summer 2011~ and the UEFI mode is disabled by
default. I wanted to install Win7 and Debian Wheezy with UEFI mode for
tests and find bug.

2- I enabled UEFI mode in my BIOS, i choose to boot on my DVD drive with
UEFI mode and I was able to install without problems Win7 EFI mode.

3- To install Wheezy RC3, i used a USB Key. In the BIOS, i see correctly
the UEFI mode for the USB Key and i choose to boot it in the first one.

4- When i boot on the USB key, i have a message which appears during 1s = Error
: prefix is not set
After this message, the installer main menu appears so i can choose between
"Install","Graphic Install", "Expert Install" etc...
The problem is here, if i choose one of these options, i have a black
screen and i can't install Wheezy. I tried all options for the same result.

5- The only solution to install wheezy is to install it with UEFI mode
disabled

Thanks,
Max
