Are arguments of previous kernel persistent during an update (zipl.conf)?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • If we add an option to the kernel (for example fips and the boot= entry to enable it), will these be inherited by newly installed kernel ?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • IBM system Z - S390x
