Hello,
To pass parameters to kernel, add an append= line in your elilo.conf
file, just below the initrd= line. In the present case:
append=debug=vc
Please find attached the log that I've just recorded on a serial
console passing debug=vc to kernel.
Well, I don't see anything useful or different than without debug=vc.

Sorry for the time it took.
According to your bug report klibc dash on ia64 has a working echo,
so it's basic functionality should be good.
It is not clear to me why the initramfs won't boot without busybox?
It does here very well on x86 platforms.
could you please list all the hooks that are shipped:
ls /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/
Also could you have a look at boot with the nont working initrmafs
with supplied bootargument: debug=vc and no quiet please.
It should show where in the boot process the initramfs hangs.
thank you.

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.
