Yes, I propably would really say that!

Your approach above editing ubiboot.conf may work (for sure this is the reason why kernels are not found), as it searches on harmattan rootfs (i.e. /dev/mmcblk0p2) boot folder. But due to your partition layout they reside on /dev/mmcblk0p4.

I suggest you do a reflash --no-preserve and start all over.
But before you should try editing ubiboot.conf as stated above.
And you will end up with a system having the home partition not mounted (would need editing at least /etc/fstab). Juiceme may tell more here.
@Garp; Your device could be saved from the state it is, yes, even easily I'd say but it does require that somebody who knows how to do that could be there on-site to do it, it is too difficult to do by giving instructions to you how to do it.

Unless you have very valuable data with no backups of it, I suggest doing as peterleinchen says, reflash with --no-preserve option and then do everything from start.
