Description

Since katello no longer creates an install medium, kexec fails to find the correct url for kernel / initrd.

What exactly do you mean by failing? You mean it does not use the overriden URL provided by Katello and returns the associated installation media path instead?

Katello does not use install media, hence it is unable to download the kernel/initrd.

steps to reproduce:
1. install foreman + katello
2. sync OS (e.g. centos)
3. try to install via katello content (and not install media).

AFAIR I was able to debug this only using pry, as the exception is eaten by https://github.com/theforeman/foreman_discovery/blob/develop/app/models/host/managed_extensions.rb#L51

Unable to reproduce, Synced Content cannot be set only in case you dont have installation source set. In nested HG there is a bug when this cannot be set, you cannot inherit IS but this is not bug in discovery. I just tested K3.4 works just fine. I had to apply this patch on the proxy tho:

Oh wait it does not kexec, that's what you mean. It's empty in the request:
