When you upload custom kernel, it goes into flash as well, you replace the old one, not adding a new one. It's 1 kernel but multiple rootfs choice.

The only time this happened to me, it was due to a flat battery (only enough juice to get a few seconds into the boot sequence before it dies). Try leaving the N800 connected to the charger for a few hours then try booting it again.
Failing that, check one of the many posts that discuss constant reboots. Like this one.
Also check this Bugzilla comment.

Just to add to this post about battery issues.
My brand new N800 kept rebooting as soon as I connected it to the power source. I thought it was faulty.
Then I found that the 3 battery pins that make contact with the battery, the middle one is shorter than the others. I cleaned up the contacts a bit on the battery itself and it was enough to get the battery working properly and it now works just fine.
Bottom line is that constant start-up reboots will happen if there is an issue with the battery.
