I've had a few instances where:

The update buggered grub.conf or lilo.conf leaving the machine staring 
at its navel during the next reboot.

The update woke up kudzu (which I normally remove/deactivate) and the 
system wakes up expecting some keyboard input to tell it what to do with 
all the new wonderful devices it just found.

But the vast majority of the time, it simply works like it's supposed 
to.  8-)
