I discovered a problem with our cobbler server this morning and am 
having a hard time tracking down the root cause.  I would like to know 
if/how I could get more debugging output from the "cobbler sync" command.

We use a single kickstart cheetah template for all of our profiles and 
source in the correct parition scheme for a system based on some 
hardware configs that are part of our ksmeta data.

## PARTITIONING:
#if $getVar("hardware","none") == "none"
## Default:
SNIPPET::partition_select
#else if $getVar("hardware", "None") == "8832sem"
SNIPPET::PART.8832sem
#else if $getVar("hardware", "None") == "8832"
SNIPPET::PART.8832
#else if $getVar("hardware", "None") == "8843sem"
SNIPPET::PART.8843sem
#else if $getVar("hardware", "None") == "8843"
SNIPPET::PART.8843
#else if $getVar("hardware", "None") == "8853sem"
SNIPPET::PART.8853sem

In the case of the 8843sem and 8853sem, the letters "sem" are inserted 
into the ks.cfg right after the contents of the PART.8853sem snippet 
file.  This isn't the case for the 8832sem.

Also, I've quadruple checked the contents of the PART.8853sem and 
PART.8843sem files and "sem" isn't hidden anywhere, so I'm sure its 
happening in the logic above.

If I make a symlink named "PART.8853semSL" and point it back to the 
8853sem file, everything works.

We are using cobbler-0.8.2-1 at this time, so I hope we aren't so out of 
date that everyone has forgotten how cobbler used to work!  ;)

Any help or tips are appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
