Leaving aside where did you obtain your cobbler package, cobbler is probably
able to import only the mini.iso. Although it can "import" standard media and
even at some point it found the initrd/vmlinux, the ones packaged even in the
netinstall media are not network enabled ones (at least around 2009), so you
still need things from mini.iso.

If you import a standar media, you get copied only the memtest things into the
tftp tree, and all the contents under www/ks_mirror, but no distro or
profile. Actually
if you install the cobbler-ubuntu package and look at the cobbler-ubuntu-import
program, you will see that it downloads and imports the mini.iso images.

Maybe looking at the old debian deployment pages of the wiki could give you
some light. Although the code snippets will probably not work now, the warning
and comments about debian specific stuff are probably still valid.
