LILO Problem - Interactive Boot Selection



I just created a new kernel and I want to interactively select whether to
boot the new kernel or the old kernel.  As I understand it, I should either be able
to automatically get a prompt where I can type a kernel name or, if I press a 
key, manually force the prompt.  Neither seems to work for me.

Here is my /etc/lilo.conf:

$ cat /etc/lilo.conf 
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
delay=40
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda6
        read-only
image=/boot/zImage-2.2.12-1
        label=2.2.12-1
        root=/dev/hda6
        read-only



Thanks for any help.
