What can you see from the VM? Does it pick up dhcp but fail tftp? Is cobbler generating the necessary file for pxe? i.e. /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/00-ma-ca-dd-re-ss
I am under the impression that netboot is enabled (as you have stated using cobblers generated MAC works). But I still feel the need to ask if you have it setup for a static address, or are pulling from a pool. If from a pool, are sure you have not ran out of leases? What do you see on the VM console when pxe fails?
