The photo at the web address below shows the output without the debug=vc
kernel boot parameter.

With the debug=vc kernel boot parameter there is no additional output.
Just before the load of vmlinuz (at the ELILO boot prompt), I hit the
tab key and typed LinuxOLD followed by debug=vc and it was ignored
apparently.
The prompt was:
ELILO boot:
Linux
LinuxOLD
(or a kernel file name: [[dev_name:/]path/]kernel_image cmdline options)
ELILO boot:
The machine is Dell PowerEdge 7250. I need to find out what's the
dev_name of the EFI boot partition of the logical drive of the raid5.
I tried debug=vc in elilo.conf and the system wouldn't boot and
complained about that extra line in elilo.conf.
My elilo.conf is below.
