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.

All packets, if you wish ;-)
