John ,
to see all the available installed kernel packages , do "rpm -qa |grep 
kernel". It'll list all the kernel versions you have. Then , do "rpm -e 
kernel-versionnumber".
This will remove all the traces of old kernels (modules , grub entries..)

About the shutdown , if I'm not wrong , it's only a matter of adding 
"acpi=on" to the  kernel parameters. You can search the archives to 
confirm this info.
