Comment/Problems :

When i boot on my USB Key with UEFI mode, i have already this message during 1 second => Error : prefix is not set.

After it, the installer's main menu appears with the differents options like "Install/Graphic Install/Expert Install" etc...

The problem is here when i choose one of these options. For all installation options, i have a black screen when i chose it and i can't continue the Wheezy installation.

This problem appears only if the UEFI mode is enabled in the BIOS. If i use the USB Key to install Wheezy with UEFI disabled, the installation works without problem.
