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.

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,
        Holger
