well i updated before I read this... stupid mistake... I got it to boot after replaceing all the stuff with my backups that I made, but now my only problem(it boots fine with just -v) is my displays are completly messed up. And i can't change them. Any ideas on what to do?

if you have your system running the backup kernel already... then you can just use software update to get to 10.5.7… on startup for a bootflag just type in "mach_kernel.voodoo" (without the quotes of course) and then run software update. after updating, replace seatbelt.kext and System.kext with the ones from 10.5.5...
