Comments/Problems:
With both beta 4 amd64 netinst image from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/.wheezy_di_b4/as as the daily amd64
netinst build 20121121-09:10, this system refuses to boot in UEFI mode.
I did the following actions when powering on the machine:
- insert cd-rom
- Press F11: UEFI boot menu.
- In the graphical Boot Manager Main Menu, I select UEFI boot menu
- Then I select Embedded SATA Port Optical Drive
- This text appears on the screen:
Boot Failed:
Please ensure compatible bootable media is available.
Use the system setup program to change the boot mode as needed.
Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for system setup, F11 for boot manager.
If I replace the Debian disc by SystemrescueCD 3.00 disc and strike F1,
the system successfully loads up the GRUB boot loader on the
SystemRescueCD 3.00 disc in UEFI mode.
When I start the same Debian disc in BIOS mode, it loads successfully.
