the git used to create customized ISO image for our environment. Please suggest me how do i modify about my proxy server name?

step1 ) GitHub - theforeman/foreman-discovery-image: Foreman discovery image live distro
cloned above one

step2 ) wget http://downloads.theforeman.org/discovery/releases/3.3/fdi-bootable-3.3.1.iso

First of all, please format your console output as Preformatted text for better reading.

Second:

Jan:

What does this mean? If you press Tab you should see (when using the link to the script I specified):
vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img ...
If you see:
vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img ...
… then you are using a wrong version of discovery-remaster script.

Please answer what you see there.

Third:
From your latest output I can (hardly see, because no preformatted text) that your discovery-remaster call seems to be buggy:

You end up with an ISO file with proxy.type=proxy as filename. So the option was not parsed correctly by bash. Please type the following line and do not copy. Look out to use correct quote characters!

bash ./discovery-remaster fdi-bootable-3.3.1.iso "proxy.url=https://hylformanproxy.micron.com proxy.type=proxy fdi.pxauto=1"

I already provided answers to all of your issues.

Again:

Do NOT use latest version of discovery-remaster script from Github in combination with FDI v3.3.1!!!

You need use the following revision of this script: b94bf01e26be01edffc1290b8c726f2d6ecdceec

To get this revision of this file, simply do:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theforeman/foreman-discovery-image/b94bf01e26be01edffc1290b8c726f2d6ecdceec/aux/remaster/discovery-remaster

It is IMPORTANT that you copy the whole URL including the revision for wget!

To double check if you use correct version do:

$ sha1sum ./discovery-remaster 
eaf21614913d4c10dcca5282ab8e040807324852  ./discovery-remaster

If you don’t have exactly same SHA hashsum, I give up!

If you have exactly the same SHA hashsum, run again:

$ bash ./discovery-remaster fdi-bootable-3.3.1.iso "proxy.url=https://hylformanproxy.micron.com proxy.type=proxy fdi.pxauto=1"

Upload built ISO to vSphere, set as CD-ROM and boot from it.
