Hello Mike, 

it looks for me like a BIOS problem if it works on another machines. Can you look for BIOS Update for this laptop?
I have similar setups without such problems.
As a workaround you can use in class/

cat <<'EOF'>21-edu-board_name
#! /bin/bash
# assign classes to hosts based on their board_name
echo -n EDU_AUTO_BOARD_;egrep -o '^\w*' /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name |tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
exit 0
EOF

cat <<'EOF'>21-edu-product_name
#! /bin/bash
# assign classes to hosts based on their product_name
echo -n EDU_AUTO_PRODUCT_;egrep -o '^\w*' /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name |tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
exit 0
EOF

cat <<'EOF'>21-edu-sysvendor
#! /bin/bash
# assign classes to hosts based on their SYS VENDOR
echo -n EDU_AUTO_VENDOR_;egrep -o '^\w*' /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/sys_vendor |tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
exit 0
EOF

cat <<'EOF'>85-auto_product_HP_
#! /bin/bash
ifclass EDU_AUTO_PRODUCT_HP_ && echo LVM_EDU_ROAMING_MBR
EOF

chmod +x 21-edu-board_name 21-edu-product_name 21-edu-sysvendor 85-auto_product_HP_*

and define your disk_config LVM_EDU_ROAMING_MBR
