      Description of problem:
      We are release locked to 8.3, we have updated to the latest Centos Kernel (4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64). The customer is using satellite and we have triple checked on another RHEL 8 machine registered the same way, that 8.3 AppStream and 8.3 BaseOS are sync'd and available. and we can see that the RHEL kernel*-4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64 is available and provides the same modules.

      1. sed -i 's|releasever=8|releasever=8.3|' /usr/share/convert2rhel/configs/centos-8-x86_64.cfg

      Customer has a proxy but configures it in the env as http_proxy and https_proxy as well as in /etc/yum.conf.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      convert2rhel-0.21-1.el7.noarch

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. proxy configured with

      1. export http_proxy=X.X.X.X
      2. export https_proxy=X.X.X.X
      3. echo "proxy=X.X.X.X" >> /etc/yum.conf
        2. workaround for 8.3 Centos:
      4. sed -i 's|releasever=8|releasever=8.3|' /usr/share/convert2rhel/configs/centos-8-x86_64.cfg
        3. convert2rhel --debug --org="Richemont_International_SA" --activationkey $activationkey

      Actual results:
      CRITICAL - The following kernel modules are not supported in RHEL:
      /lib/modules/4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64/kernel/net/netfilter/xt_TRACE.ko.xz
      /lib/modules/4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64/kernel/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_spi.ko.xz
      /lib/modules/4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401.ko.xz
      /lib/modules/4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64/kernel/drivers/media/usb/gspca/gspca_mr97310a.ko.xz
      ...
      ...<listed for every kernel module>

      Expected results:
      convert2rhel should allow for proxies in the environment. perhaps a --proxy option

      An error message related to the connectivity to the repository or something more clear the issue is not related to kernel modules, but with the repository connection.
