Re: Changing kernels
first, the kernel is just the kernel, there is nothing else that differs, so your issues likely don't have anything do to with whichever one you have installed
second, I dunno about SUSe, but I've run PAE kernels for many years with nvidia - never had an issue.
third, yeah a non PAE kernel is faster - the tradeoff is larger memory space for *slightly* slower performance
fourth.... use a 64 bit version, maybe?
To specifically answer your question - changing or installing additional kernels (you can have a bunch installed - pick the one you want with Grub at boot) doesn't leave anything behind. Whatever issue you're having, it's not related to the kernel or having multiple kernels installed at one time or other.
