Hi,

this very much looks like there's a mismatch between the linux kernel
and its modules. You should be running a 3.2.63 kernel, rather than a
3.2.57 one. Looking at the debian-installer-7.0-netboot-amd64 files,
version 20130613+deb7u2.b3, I see that both of those mention 3.2.63-2
which would be the expected version:
  /usr/lib/debian-installer/images/7.0/amd64/gtk/debian-installer/amd64/linux
  /usr/lib/debian-installer/images/7.0/amd64/text/debian-installer/amd64/linux

Mraw,
KiBi.
