I cloned my SuSE-9.3 HDD w/LILO 22.7 installed in MBR. (i.e. I have
both HDDs installed in one server).

For the case of exactly the same ROOT partitions contained /boot
directory:
simple DD from sda2 to sdb2 (plus DD of MBR sector) looks OK.

But if I use dump/restore procedure for clone of the ROOT partition
filesystem (ext3) and then issue (from rescue mode, for example)
something like

chroot /mnt /sbin/lilo -t

then I see the error message

raid_setup: stat ("/dev/sda")
(the same message appears at /mnt/sbin/lilo -t -r /mnt)

I don't have any raid - in particular, in /etc/lilo.conf :-)
It looks for me that /boot/map file copied via dump/restore from the
"source" HDD is inappropriate for using for lilo execution :-(

This situation (w/message about raid) remains if I remove "source" HDD
and use only installation CD booting w/1 target HDD.

How is possible to solve this problem ?
