LILO prints each letter as it completes a specific part of the boot process. The fact that it stops after the first L is significant. From http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/a1483.html : "Output: L The first stage boot loader has been loaded and started, but it can't load the second stage boot loader. The two-digit error codes indicate the type of problem. (See also section ``Disk error codes''.) This condition usually indicates a media failure or a geometry mismatch (e.g. bad disk parameters)." So, sounds like the old and the new motherboard are using different addressing schemes. I'd check and make sure the two BIOSen detect the drive the same.
