Rebooting to a blinking ? icon

that is a sign that it cannot find bootable material, typically a bad hard drive. You can try to do a low level format from an OS X disk to see if the drive is still good (but not readable by EFI) and if it fails the drive may be bad.

Jim,
What OS version did the the new MacBooks ship with and what OS version are
you imaging with? Do you already have MacBooks of this type in production?
Could be hardware failure as mentioned but considering that there is the
same effect with multiple machines and the same process applied and assuming
they booted and worked out the box I think it might be image.

Sometimes, it is as simple as forgetting to check the "Boot to VOlume" in the imaging process, or that the final run script did not run. I would just format the HD and then rerun your image process.

Luddite by Degrees
1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of things --- Douglas Adams
