I didn't use Zephs updated because it wouldn't download the updates. It would stay at preparing to download for ages so I said screw this and installed, but I might ave accidentally not unchecked the airport and time machine update. is there a way to resolve this issue or do I need to reinstall again?

Were u using Zeph's AMD Updater? This ist still beta and if you used the Apple Software Update your system is messed up at all
I am intersted also in this, since I have made the same yesterday. But with one difference. I have updated through Zephyroth's AMD updater.
I haven't tried booting with -x, but since I have made the same think with Stealthmode than I will probably be able to boot.
