Unsupported hardware message blocks Fuel install

[Jesse Pretorius]

When trying to install Fuel in Virtualbox on my laptop, which has an Intel i5 4200U CPU, the Fuel install is blocked right at the beginning with a message saying that the hardware in unsupported.

As described https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.4_Technical_Notes/anaconda.html and https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html the 'unsupported_hardware' command in the kickstart file can be used to suppress this message.

I tried to use the command at the end of the kernel line during the fuel install, but that didn't work. So instead I put a new line after https://github.com/stackforge/fuel-main/blob/master/iso/ks.template#L10 containing 'unsupported_hardware' and rebuilt the ISO. When rebuilding with the new ISO, everything worked as expected.

I'll have to retry using the kernel parameter again, but in a different place, as I see that https://github.com/kimduho/linux/wiki/CentOS-v6.4-Installation-with-Ignoring-Unsupported-Hardware recommends using it to overcome this problem. If it is found to work, then perhaps we can simply add a note in the documentation somewhere instead of adding to the kickstart template.
