I had recently changed over to the pxelinux right before the new models showed and assumed it was more than likely a pxelinux issue.

I believe the issue to be a hardware conflict with the Lenovo laptops. Using the same dos images which freeze up on the new machines I can image any of my older ones without fault.

Again, information on how and where it locks up is also helpful as
there may be similar machines that behave similarly but are not an
exact match.  It could just as easily be a bad PXE stack from the NIC
vendor as a misbehaving BIOS or a known bad driver.  Those three are
just three quick and easy possibilities for the issue.

If this was provided, it's very possible this might be a more generic
issue that only exhibits itself on similar new hardware and someone
might be able to provide guidance if they've seen a similar issue.
