It seems the currently distributed iso images may contain invalid GPT tables. I downloaded debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso, wrote it to a USB stick and tried to add a partition for firmware files as described at https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en - but gdisk reported "Found invalid GPT and valid MBR".
This appears to be due to a bug in xorriso as discussed at https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2013/05/msg00035.html Thomas Schmitt confirmed that: "The problem described there affects versions 1.2.6 and 1.2.8. debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso indeed bears as preparer id "XORRISO-1.2.6 2013.01.08.103001, LIBISOBURN-1.2.6, LIBISOFS-1.2.6, LIBBURN-1.2.6" You will have to ask at debian-cd@lists.debian.org whether the problem is supposed to be fixed in the xorriso binary that produces the images. It _should_ be fixed in xorriso-1.3.2 as in Debian testing and in the current upstream release 1.3.4." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
