I have not used lilo in years but here goes.

boot off the live CD again, mount sda2 and edit /etc/fstab and change the UUID devices to the /dev/sda? above them.
eg.
UUID=86a7b8fe-05a8-412f-8dd5-4dfe75d64557 / xfs defaults 0 1
to
/dev/sda2 / xfs defaults 0 1

I dont know if lilo knows about UUID but it may make no difference (due to linking of devices).

:D

if you boot off the live cd, mount /dev/sda2 and then chroot to it, did you run the lilo command after making changes to lilo.conf?

sudo lilo

try doing this again any way.
you have to run the lilo command after any changes to lilo.conf.
