moving to a bigger harddisk - weird (?) problem



Hi!

I´m trying to move from a 1.6G[1] to a 25G harddrive. I put the new drive in as 
secondary master, the kernel detects the following

hda: Conner Peripherals 1620MB - CFS1621A, 1548MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=786/64/63
hdc: IBM-DJNA-352500, 24405MB w/1966kB Cache, CHS=49585/16/63, DMA

then I partition, move the data, put the harddisk to primary master, boot from 
CD (rescue root=/dev/hda2), but now can´t install lilo because

hda: IBM-DJNA-352500, 24405MB w/1966kB Cache, CHS=1027/255/63, DMA

which is confusing lilo and fdisk, because the partitions now don´t end on 
cylinder boundarys.

Any hints?

1: which I don´t want to use as bootdrive because it´s starting to fail.
