RHEL does support normal IPv6 operations.

If you're trying to do a network install (http, ftp, NFS) and your
machine has multiple NICs, then the specification of the host containing
the install images MUST include the ID of the ethernet NIC you wish to
use (eth0, eth1, etc.) by specifying "%ethX" at the end of the IPv6
address of the remote host.
