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.

Which kernel are you using in woody? Are you using the RTL8139 module
in woody as well?
