Then i'd recommend use fuser /dev/video0 to see what's locking it, but it seems fuser doesn't work at all. You can try this instead:
lsof | grep "video"
or
lsof | grep "camera"

I think, someone else had similar problem and it was conflicting with power kernel. Try reinstalling/update kernel power, if you have one.

MIght have to reflash if it doesn't come on.

As for camera issue, are you using cssu and bless n900/fcam? If so, you need to re-install the fcam drivers, (it's on another thread somewhere, I had the same problem).

Also, with the boot thing, is it in a loop? get's to nokia then reboots? If so try, booting with the keyboard open.

Did you uninstall it via app manager? If so, then, i'm afraid, you need to reflash. There should be "Deinstall Kernel-Power" in your program list, use it next time to delete power kernel.
You can try upload kernel only from your PC. See wiki instructions, end of section "Deinstallation".
