And then chroot into that mounted partition and run the > lilo that I normally run? Mount / as in the new root that you said you just installed but can't get to boot. Don't forget to also mount /boot if it's not on the / partition. The rationale for the chroot before running lilo is that it works better, in my experience. Knoppix is usually a bit newer than Debian Stable which can cause some compatability problems, and you already mentioned that the lilo in Knoppix was giving you errors. After doing a chroot, any commands you run (including lilo) would be running the Sarge version that you just installed, rather than Knoppix's version.
