I'm running my Laptop with Barebox on EFI, so it's certainly possible.
Without any error messages I can only guess what the problem might be.
Have you enabled CONFIG_EFI_STUB in your kernel config? This is necessary
for barebox to boot your kernel.

This is _really_ old code. Nobody has tested this in a long time. It's most
likely broken in many ways. Don't use it unless you're interested in
barebox development and want to fix it :-).
