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: CD
Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_rc1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso 
Date: 18th feb 2013

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
