Satellite 6.4 will be shipping with the versions or higher.

foreman-discovery-image-3.5.3-1.iso
foreman-discovery-image-3.5.3-1.iso-img
foreman-discovery-image-3.5.3-1.iso-vmlinuz

Comment 3 Lukas Zapletal 2018-10-03 15:19:03 UTC
This is likely old RHEL, the new FDI is build on top of RHEL 7.5. Please use this build which is the final FDI build for Satellite 6.4:

http://people.redhat.com/~lzapleta/scratch/fdi/foreman-discovery-image-3.5.3-1.el7sat.noarch.rpm

We plan to update FDI in Satellite 6.3, associated the tracking BZ. Thanks for the report!

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
