Package: installation-reports Version: 2.49 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,The Wheezy RC1 installer is very slow when booting up with UEFI. It will take almost a minute to get to the menu. During this time the following message was displayed:Welcome to Grub! error: "prefix" is not set.At first I thought the installer completely failed to boot, but as stated it worked after I waited a while. After that when selecting Install (text or graphical didn't matter) the screen froze for a minute again as shown in the attachment. Once it progressed I had no further issues with it.This test was performed in VirtualBox on Wheezy configured to use Debian x64 as OS with all other settings set to default values.-- Package-specific info: Boot method: CDImage version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_rc1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.isoDate: 18th feb 2013 Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [E]For the overall install it failed and I will file a separate bug report for that.Attachment: menu.png

Hi, thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated. I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they were caused by broken hardware and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or - moreinfo was asked and not given or - they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to close wishlist bugs.) If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
