You said
"I simply copied /boot/* and /home/* to the new drive, and ran lilo on
it."
You didn't say if you updated the /etc/fstab file.
You didn't say if you updated /etc/lilo.config to look for the new
/boot on a different drive.
You didn't say if you changed/removed the old lilo.conf entry that
pointed to the OLD location of /boot.
You didn't say if you now have 2 drives ( I assume you do as you only
copied /boot and /home to the New one) or if there is now only one
drive.
I have written oncee in an effort to help. I have written a second time
to try to help YOU to help yourself.
[ snip lilo response that dosen't mean anything without above answere]
I _sometimes_ even try to help 3 times, but that doesn't happen often!
