problem solved. Well not really solved. I went into single user mode, copied my important data to a usb drive and reinstalled tiger. My new problem is installing leopard. This powerbook can't boot off usb drives or read dvddl's. Normally I would've cloned a dmg from a leo disk on another machine, made a partition of the main hd in my powerbook, restored the dmg to the partition and booted off the partition to install leo, but, in tiger, you can't partition the main hd, so I don't know how I am going to install leo short of stripping the dmg down to dvd size.
