Hi Lukas,
I followed your instructions, first I did the symbolic link with:
[root@srv-install grub2]#pwd
/var/lib/tftpboot/grub2
[root@srv-install grub2]# ln -s /var/lib/tftpboot/core.elf grubppc64le.efi
And I changed also the PXE GRUB2 UEFI template in the operating system tab then
I checked also the dhcpd.lease and there is the right filename:
host davide13.e4srv {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 70:e2:84:14:1c:13;
fixed-address 172.16.2.207;
supersede server.filename = "grub2/grubppc64le.efi";
supersede server.next-server = ac:10:02:02;
supersede host-name = "davide13.e4srv";
}
When I boot the system I receive this error message:

I noted also that this file:

grub.cfg-01-70-e2-84-14-1c-13
that contains:

[root@srv-install grub2]#
Is in the directory:
/var/lib/tftpboot/grub2
The name and the location differs from the name/location find by the system.
Last but not least my Foreman version is 1.15.2.
Any hints?
Thank you

Hello,
with recent versions of Foreman (1.14+) you set PXELoader to Grub2 EFI
and then the filename will be grubppc64le.efi or grubppc64.efi
depending on endian.
Note the incorrect extension (PPC is not EFI compatible), we are
tracking this under http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16706 and we
will rename this properly according to grub2-mknetdir:
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/20815
So for you at the moment is best to create a (relative) symlink named
grubppc64.efi -> path/to/your/core.elf
