Did you make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing the kernel? (Always do that before you flash anything)
If not, ill ask a mod to move this to the Xperia P forum so someone can tell you how to recover it.
What carrier are you on, country are you in?

P.s, have you tried clearing Cache and Dalvik in recovery?
Moved, thanks! 
As Funky says, try getting back in to recovery and clearing cache/dalvik or restoring your back up?
Your best option might be to restore a suitable ftf file using flashtool.

I did recovery sucessful on CWM Recovery and phone worked after reboot till i installed Phantom Kernel. I followed this tutorial btw, How to Overclock the Sony Xperia P - TheUnlockr TheUnlockr . I am from Croatia, it's a Tele2 network. Thanks for replying, i wrote on xda and nobody seems to respond :/
Ah, you can't even get that far?
Your only option is flashtool and a compatible ftf file.
You could even try using Sony's PC Companion or their Update Suite.

Isnt there a button combination to boot an xperia into recovery from being off?
Recovery is weird on Xperia devices. From what I can tell (and from experience), if the device won't boot, recovery won't work.
Your best bet in these situations is an Xperia specific app called Flashtool.

Glad you got it working.
Dont give up though.. just be sure to flash the kernel cleanly by doing the wipes. At least you know how to fix if it goes wrong.
This sub-forum is dead lol! Isnt there much development for that phone?
