Kickstart doesn't?

It definately looks like a software problem.  The DHCP requests sent out 
by the stage-1 DHCP client have an incorrect UDP checksum.  Here's the 
result of a packet capture (output from 'tethereal -v'):

User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: bootpc (68), Dst Port: bootps (67)
    Source port: bootpc (68)
    Destination port: bootps (67)
    Length: 308
    Checksum: 0x0145 (incorrect, should be 0xb041)

This problem *only* occurs during the stage 1 installer; both the PXE 
bios and the second stage installer (and the subsequent Fedora install) 
are able to aquire a DHCP lease without a problem.
