I cloned my SuSE-9.3 HDD w/LILO 22.7 installed in MBR. (i.e. I have

For the case of exactly the same ROOT partitions contained /boot

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 ?

Number one, switch to grub. The increased flexibility and capability
of grub justifies this.
Number two, it's not clear that you haven't done any other hardware
changes. For example, if your drives have wound up renumbered due to
additional SCSI devices or SCSI-looking devices, such as an external
USB cd drive used to boot your OS, you may have a bit of a problem
there.
Perhaps you should post your lilo.conf and /etc/fstab so we can better
understand your issue?
