Anaconda is just a program that needs an environment to run on.  The
version of the kernel used on the install disks determines what hardware
is supported.  Any bugs causing issues booting the install disk will most
likely need an updated kernel _for anaconda to run on_ to fix it.

X is needed for a graphical install.  If there is an issue with the
graphics support during the install, then an updated X is needed _for
anacanda to run on_ to fix it.
