Did you edit the copy of lilo.conf that is NOT /etc/lilo.conf (in my case it was /mnt/hd/etc/lilo.conf)?
I have used LILO for years (whatever the distro used by default, since about '98 or so) and have never had *any* trouble with it. My one experience of Grub was the same; but I'm a tad bit more confortable with LILO.
The big problem I had here was that the code that the autoconfigured lilo.conf did not handle the case of the boot drive and the target drive being different drives. It recognized the issue enough to issue a vague "warning", but unhelpfully went no further than that.
What's your lilo.conf look lke? (/mnt/usb?/etc/lilo.conf?) I am more than curious, because I'm thinking of a USB-drive install also...
