That option is somewhat poorly named. What it really means is 'Don't let anaconda change the bootloader config'. It doesn't prevent the kernel post script from changing it, when the kernel package is updated; it'd be very difficult to prevent that. So it's not actually particularly unusual for the grub config file to be changed after such an upgrade. We probably should rename the option somehow... > First, it did change /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf, even though I asked > for no change.

Also wrong, but you're not providing much useful data. What exactly is the grub config changed to?
