Can you try booting up that libretto again and tell us that last colored message you see, just before the core dump?  Lilo boots, but probably something went wrong during the transfer of control.

I have seen this a few times before, and all of them was caused by different things.  So you will have to try doing some elimination to narrow-down the cause of the problem.

First, I think you have not yet run the DSL on the libretto prior to this attempted hd-install so I will recommend for you to do so using the "Loadlin install" procedure.  Details are available from the DSL Documentation pages.

Format that libretto hd to FAT32 using a Windows Emergency Boot disk, making the hd bootable if you can.  Then copy the folders "Knoppix" and "isolinux" (inside the folder "boot") from the CD onto the libretto hd.  You may need to use that other desktop that you used before for this.  Obtain loadlin.exe and put it inside the "isolinux" folder.  Create that "options.txt" file inside the "isolinux" folder.  Then follow the instructions in the "Loadlin install" procedure for starting up DSL.  If this went well, then your problem was caused by errors during the hd-install.
