My apologies for not providing that information earlier. I was able to resolve the issue by using "acpi=off single" on the grub boot line to get back into the rescue prompt.
At that point I updated and upgraded my system to get the latest, attempted "startx" to start KDE, without success (black screen only). Rebooted the computer and followed the instructions for Debian Jessie at: https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary#jessie This resolved the issue...
