The problem just sounds like the lilo.conf file is wrong.
I don't think the warning;
Warning: COMPACT may conflict with LBA32 on some systems
Is unusual with lilo these days.
A quick Google suggests that;
Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda")
Is due to not remounting "/dev" into the chroot environment, new one on
me, but then I assume this is probably a udev thing. Most of the
pointers refer to Xandros, so presumably either something they changed
first, a bug, or possibly they are the last people not defaulting to GRUB.
I'd say have a play with lilo, and chroot, till this error goes away,
possible lilo's "-r" option is worth trying, and it'll work again.
It was about the 6th time that I recovered a system with a LiveCD
because I hadn't run Lilo after a kernel upgrade, that I realised GRUB
has its redeeming qualities as a boot loader ;) Sometimes I'm very stuck
in my ways, but I gets there in the end.
