If I really want to see what's going on, I would run tcpdump on the node that runs cobbler, and records the traffic from the inception of the PXE booting process, save it to a file, and review it using wireshark UI (on the same node or your desktop). That way, I can use wireshark's filter to do drill-down whenever I need. Just a suggestion. You may prefer to use tcpdump directly. Some do.
