If After flashing a kernal, the initial reboot is interupted and a second boot is intiated, is the flash still a success or does the flash fail leaving u with the prior kernal?

are you sure the reboot isnt the screen going blank while the kernel is installing the hardware?
 
It was in the boot animation and my daughter knocked the phone off the couch. The battery popped outand i had to put the batt back in and boot

The flash will still be a success since it completed. Once the kernel/ROM is there, it's not really going anywhere (ROM = "read only memory", albeit somewhat of a misnomer nowadays the general idea still applies)

Since you were just flashing a kernel, I really doubt anything bad will happen. If you do run into weird things, post back. My opinion is the absolute worst case here would be a factory reset. (edit: factory reset meaning a data/cache/dbdata wipe, not making it stock again or anything that extreme. It's pretty far-fetched to me you'd possibly have to do that after a battery pull anyway.)
