The default kernel on the CD should be compiled for 386 so it'll boot up *any* CPU. Mount the old drives manually, chroot to the old root (/) partition and recompile the kernel with a correct CPU setting and support for you mainboard chipset. Edit lilo.conf to use the new kernel and run /sbin/lilo. The new system should now boot with the old drives and a new kernel.
