Any idea what partitition table scheme is used on the SSD?  Modern
hardware mostly uses GPT, with which, says the Internet, LILO has
occasional difficulty:

  lilo can not work with UUID identifiers. Well it works OK when you
  execute it, but the system does not boot afterwards.

I have no direct experience to call upon, so consider it an educated
guess.  It may be worth a closer look.
