It doesn't. Anaconda (both in RHEL and Fedora) does clubber the existing grub.conf during the installation. But if you keep a copy of the previous grub.conf and merge with the newly installed on, it should work just fine. Updates only add/remove exact kernel versions and files (and the default option). They do not modify other entries. - Gilboa
