testing install in acer aspire v5-571P with uefi/gpt



I downloaded wheezy weeky build kde iso dt 5th Nov
 It booted in uefi mode. But during installation, I got message as below
 ----------------
 No kernel modules were found.This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer  and the kernel version available in the archive.
If you are installing from mirror, you can work around this problem by choosing to install different version of debian. The install will probably fail to work if you continue with out kernel modules.
Continue install without having kernel modules?
No
Yes.
-------------
When I try to take screenshot, it saved /var/log/ folder. But when I tried to mount a partition, it says no such device exists.

When I tried to continue with yes for above option of no or yes,
I get stuck up in network setup.

I have following network adapters in my laptop.
02:00.2 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 0a)
    Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0724
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44
    I/O ports at 2000 [size=256]
    Memory at f0404000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
    Memory at f0400000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: r8169

03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e052
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19

 and further it could not recognise both ethernet and wireless which are
Qualcomm atheros ar5bwb222
Realtek ethernet
It could not detect both of them.

 I tried other source.

The image there worked for me perfectly well. Thanks to Steve McIntyre and team.
As requested by him, I have joined debian-boot list and I will post my experience there.
However I have one more requirement, the boot menu has debian and ubuntu but not windows8 as used to be previously.
I would like windows 8 also included in boot menu.
