I hope this is not OT - didn't find any LILO mailing list. after
trying virtually everything - can anyone help me with a tip?

The problem you're having is not with raid but with LILO in general.
I don't remember the specifics, but I've experienced the same thing
and it was an error in how I used lilo or the version of the boot
record -- something strange like that. Raid is not part of the
problem.

Read the docs that come with the LILO distribution in the source. The
man page does not have as much info. You may also be suffering from
differing version of the MBR -- a major source of pain and suffering.

I've read the fscking manual - all I can find - for both grub and lilo, and 
I've tried all possible configurations I can think of.

point is - I beleive there's a BIOS/linux misunderstanding somewhere

Did you try the   raid-extra-boot  option for LILO ?  I really don't
know if this is the problem you are seeing, but it's worth a shot I
think.
