And those message is repeated endless

You might be hitting some issue with the realtek driver. Try to build ipxe.efi with DEBUG=realtek and see what happens and report back. You could also try going through the http://ipxe.org/dev/driver test suite and report back where it fails. It would also be worthwhile to test in legacy BIOS mode to see if things work as it should there.
