Kickstart older Red Hat Enterprise release with newer installer system

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x needs to be installed. But for some reason  the installation fails unless version 5.y is used.

But only the installer fails. A installed system works find.

The objective is to use the 5.y installer which works but to use it to install the older Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.x.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation via Satellite Kickstart or PXE installation.
