Um, does the lava texture you applied to the rock work on other
objects like ground texture or is is a untryed texture?
Also do you name the new texture the same name as the old texture? Because the msh/rock asks for it's texture tga by name, I believe, and therefore needs the exact same name for any texture you try to apply to it

Well all I can say is mudge the map and see what happens to the rock
or/and try a different texture on the rock like a box texture or something to see if it's just ground texture thats messeds up when you put it on other stuff.

Is the ground texture unusual in some way?
Is it a moving texture?
Maybe it has a .option file that didn't get transfered over when you transfered the texture?
I'm picking at straws so I'm not sure

it has to have the same name and same size (ex. it has to be 256 pixels by 256 pixels), with no rle compression and the right version of tga

but your problem is most likely the second
