Why is LILO failing?



I've just installed a new version of lilo and i have a problem getting
it to work. It says there is an error in my configuration. Here's the
info:

-------------
[ROOT: /]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot = /dev/hda
root = /dev/hda2
vga = normal
block
image = /vmlinuz
        label = linux
		  read-only
image = /vmlinuz.old
		  label = old
		  read-only

[ROOT: /]# lilo -v
LILO version 21, Copyright 1992-1998
Werner Almesberger

Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Syntax error near line 5 in file
/etc/lilo.conf

[ROOT: /]# ls -l /vmlinuz
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       576594 Jan 27 10:04 /vmlinuz

[ROOT: /]# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2              1147127    976042    111815  90% /

[ROOT: /]# uname -a
Linux arwen 2.2.0 #9 Wed Jan 27 09:42:15 CET 1999 i586 unknown

The kernel is compiled with bzlilo if that gives any more information.

I'd appreciate some thoughts about my problem.
