Originally assigned to: @antonym on GitHub.

Describe the bug
RHEL and its clones have changed the installer parameters, they must be prefixed with "inst." now.
The current configuration uses "text" instead of "inst.text", and support for the old flag is deprecated.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to "Linux Network Installs"
Select any RHEL-based distro on the list, like CentOS or Rocky Linux
Pick the latest release and select the text installer option.
Anaconda will show a warning and won't start the text-installer environment.

Expected behavior
Anancoda would show the text-based installer options.

Screenshots

Additional context
I'm using the ARM64 version, but I believe the problem also affects x86.
Fedora also uses Anaconda, and it seems to have the correct flag set:
