Yes, I think that should do it.
Another way to do so, the way I prefer to do it, is to alter the settings for your bootloader so it loads the new kernel instead of the old. That way I don't need to rename files inside /boot all the time. Makes me nervous, doing that.
Be careful to have a livecd or some such handy to fix it, if the new kernel doesn't work.
