'rpm -q kernel' will show all of the kernels installed on the system
'rpm -e kernel-<version>-<release>' will remove the kernel from your system

For example:

[haring
(root):i686]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.0-0.test8.1.66
kernel-2.6.0-0.test9.1.67
kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
kernel-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl
kernel-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl

Then you could:
(root):i686]# rpm -e kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

As 'root', try running
'service sshd status'
which will show the status of the server process which responds to ssh
requests.  If you get back a message that the service isn't running, then
you've found the problem, in which case, do the following:

'service sshd start'   <- will start up the sshd daemon
'chkconfig --level 345 sshd'   <- will put entries in initscripts to start
                                  up sshd in runlevel 3, 4, and 5 so that
                                  it starts the next time you boot the
                                  machine
