Yes, I had problems with the defaults, the process was sitting on:

Trying to allocate 1011 pages for VMLINUZ
[Linux-EFI, setup=0x107c, size=0x3f28d0]
[Initrd, addr=0x7cbec000, size=0x224b4411]

I'm curious, did you have any problems with the defaults? It should actually 
just work.

The DHCP template in /etc/cobbler has cases for the different bootloaders, e.g.

      class "pxeclients" {
           match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = 
"PXEClient";
           if option pxe-system-type = 00:02 {
                   filename "ia64/elilo.efi";
           } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:06 {
                   filename "grub/grub-x86.efi";
           } else if option pxe-system-type = 00:07 {
                   filename "grub/grub-x86_64.efi";
           } else {
                   filename "pxelinux.0";
           }
      }

If you call cobbler get-loaders, they are automatically downloaded to the 
correct location.
The default kickstart with autopart should work as well.

Hallo. I was successful in UEFI boot and install, here are details:

1) Cobbler server : 2.6.9
   source: ?, ?
   build time: Fri Jun 12 07:42:24 2015

Cobbler is installed on Oracle Linux 6.6

2) I am installing Oracle Linux R6-U6-x86_64 on the Oracle Server x3-2

3) DHCP service is provided by another box, the config is:

host my-hostname.domain.com {
       hardware ethernet 00:10:e0:aa:aa:aa;
       fixed-address 10.xx.xx.xx;
       next-server 10.yy.yy.yy; # my cobbler server
       filename "/grub/BOOTX64.efi";
       }

4) How to find proper BOOTX64.efi file, read the doc:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E41137/E41137.pdf

See the paragraph 1.4.7 (starts on page 9), the page 10 talks about
UEFI-based PXE client.
This is the key: UEFI-based PXE clients can use the BOOTX64.efi boot
loader, which is available as EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi from the Oracle Linux
6 Update 6 Media Pack DVD image.

So I placed BOOTX64.efi in <my_cobbler_server>:/var/lib/tftpboot/grub/


5) I also have the file splash.xpm.gz in
<my_cobbler_server>:/var/lib/tftpboot/grub/

6) The file /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/00:10:e0:aa:aa:aa looks like

timeout=10
splashimage=(nd)/splash.xpm.gz
title OL-R6-U6-x86_64-UEFI
     root (nd)
     kernel /images/OL-R6-U6-x86_64/vmlinuz  ksdevice=bootif lang= text
ks=http://my_cobbler_server/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/host_name
     initrd /images/OL-R6-U6-x86_64/initrd.img

7) The kickstart file is

# ks for OL 6.6 UEFI

lang en_US.UTF-8

8) Works for me. Let me know if you need any other detail?
