Yes. Since noone stepped up to add support for milo in d-i, only SRM is supported. If milo works, it is by chance :-)). Volunteers for this are, of course, welcome. Unless you cannto switch, I'd strongly suggest SRM though, especially if you are installing afresh. Mmmh, sorry, I just see you have a Ruffian, then of course, SRM is not an option. > So, everything goes OK until network config.

Are you using the RTL8139 module in woody as well? Greetings Helge -- Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
