can I reboot into the older kernel and will the nvidia driver work?

Absolutely. I ran into a similar issue where I installed a new kernel without building ndiswrapper for it. I had uninstalled the module source package, so when I booted my new kernel I needed to rebuild ndiswrapper, but did not have the module source package. So I went off to download it forgetting that... well, should be obvious.

Anyway, I just rebooted back into the old kernel, downloaded and installed the module source package, rebooted and built the module for the new kernel.
