My system is obviously set up differently than yours, and my installtion methods are different as well. Whenever there's a kernel update on my system, the new kernel packages are installed, and the grub.conf file does not get updated. Which is THE WAY I want it to be. I never did like the way grub.conf got updated behind my back, so to speak, after a kernel update. Now I don't need to worry about a new kernel busting anything, as the previous working kernel will be booted, even after a kernel update. It's only 3 lines in grub.conf to add for a kernel update- so it's not a problem at all. I also keep the original grub.conf entry for the default kernel of the installation DVD disk. That way if I ever need to do a fresh installation from DVD using a kickstart file, I already have that entry in my own custom grub.conf file.
