That's the general idea.  You should also go directly to the updates 
directory and download and install all available kernel updates, not just 
the latest kernel version.  You may find that an intermediate kernel is 
bootable, but the most recent version is not.

If you cannot find a bootable kernel you are, pretty much, boned.  There's 
nothing that you can do.  Perhaps try your luck with a recent FC6 test 
kernel.
