Kickstart with rescue option produces strange results in RHEL6 such as "You don't have any Linux partitions"

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, when booting media containing a kickstart file, the rescue mode option behaves strangely. It reports situations such as "You don't have any Linux partitions" when the system clearly contains partitions.

Rescue mode used to work despite specifying a kickstart file in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. What has changed in version 6?
