You don't know what X server or kernel you provide with your live-wheezy iso and img files? Yours won't even boot, so what logs should I be looking for? I ran lour live whhezy disk in a virtual box only to find there's no installer. I installed the debian installer through synaptic. When I ran it, the screen when black. I have no problems with linux mint debian edition which is built upon debian wheezy.
