'Never mind, found the problem'

Subject: iSCSI and iBFT

Hi,

I have a bit of an esoteric problem. When I configure the software iscsi 
intiator that is part of EDK2 platform network stack, the platform network 
stack with install iBFT table into the ACPI tables so that the configuration 
can be picked up by further boot loaders and the OS. So far so good.

Problem: When I PXE boot into iPXE using my adapter, exit back into boot 
manager, the iBFT has disappeared. Alternatively, if I use iPXE to then boot 
WDS, the software initiator in WinPE won't find the iBFT table and therefore 
won't hook the network drive.

Observations:
* When I boot into UEFI shell on disk and exit back into boot manager, the iBFT 
is preserved.

* When I PXE boot into UEFI shell and exit, the iBFT is preserved.

* When I boot into iPXE on disk and exit, the iBFT is preserved.

* When I use a different adapter (Intel) to pxe boot into iBFT and exit back to 
boot manager, the iBFT has moved from the penultimate position to the last 
position in the ACPI tables. Almost as if something uninstalled the iBFT and 
reinstalled it.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Tom
