The ONLY guaranteed way to ensure a completely clean install is to re-install the operating system. However, you can reconfigure the kernel_picker package, and possibly rebuild the image, to pick a different kernel for the clients. Since you've already started adding/removing RPMs, you're probably best off re-installing the OS.
