Without knowing what happened that caused the lilo error or the system setup, not able to give any details on how to fix.

The basic steps to fix are:
boot from a live iso
mount the root partition to /mnt
mount any other partitions that need to be mounted
mount --bind dev,proc,sys,run to the same directories on /mnt
chroot into /mnt
rerun lilo

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

You have not provided much information. I assume you cloned the disk but is it running on the same computer as the original or different?

Are both drives installed or did you disconnect the good one.

If different computers then how are they different i.e specifications etc.

You posted your running debian and lilo. Is this a really old or some specialized version?

Is this a known good verified backup image?

Again debian using lilo would imply this is a very old or customized version. Running a really old version on a new PC would probably fail.

What are the specs of the broken machine that the image was made on and the specs of the new pc the image was installed on? ie: make/model, year bought, processor, amount of ram, more the information about the two systems the better.
