Notice it says "at or above line 20".

Do what it suggests: look at the /etc/lilo.conf file at around line 20 or
before that line.

An unrecognized token is an unrecognized command or configuration keyword
in your lilo.conf file.

When I said "show us" -- I meant you could show us your lilo.conf if you
didn't see the error and maybe we could see it.
