If /boot is a striped RAID device (it looks like your last one was) this
is going to cause problems, eventually.
When LILO boots the system, it has to load the kernel and initrd into
memory. At this point, there's no filesystem access, so lilo has to know
which blocks those two files reside on, in order to load them. If your
RAID is striped, then both the kernel and initrd are going to reside in
blocks on both of the physical devices. Last time I checked, lilo
couldn't get that information, and could not boot from striped RAID
volumes.
If you made /boot a simple mirror this time, I'm still surprised that it
works, but only a little :)
