This error originated from one of the following locations within the iPXE source code:

After, I build my ipxe with this howto: https://coderwall.com/p/0sq9gg
it don't solve my problem...

Thank you for your help

Ive tried this, and had constant issues when going the VMware / Virtualbox route with anything but an Intel Adapter.

I managed to get a good success rate, by actually installing onto physical disk, then installing the latest nic driver, AOEDisk / ISCSI initiator setup and running the ccboot client to do the registry entries required to get ethernet booting. Then , attach an "empty" AOE / ISCSI disk and check that it registers correctly.

Therafter I used a windows backup tool (in my case AOMEI Backupper Standard) to do a system backup to an image file, and then a restore to the attached ISCSI / AOE disk.

Shut down, remove physical disk, power on, change boot params to netboot, and watch it work .. 10 / 10 with realtek nics.

Good luck
