    I am having issues booting from PXE using Clonezilla Server Edition. It works fine using our Latitude E5500's, so I am sure that it is not a server side issues, at least not one that is global, but for some reason the PXE boot freezes on some models of computer. Here's a screenshot of where it freezes on one of our Dell Latitude E5520's: http://i.imgur.com/UPD4eMN.jpg
    I have kind of assumed that it is some sort of network driver issue, but unlike with WDS I can't find any information on streamlining drivers into DRBL. Anybody have any ideas?

    Maybe you can try to use different version of pxelinux by running the following command on DRBL server:
    sudo /usr/share/drbl/sbin/drbl-prepare-pxelinux -u -pv 5.10 -d
    Then boot your client to see if it works or not.
    You can replace 5.10 by 5.01, or 6.02...

    Steven.
