Cornelius, I think probably for the time being, the best, and easiest solution would be for you to switch back to Wheezy 7.8, or 7.9. Then, you can upgrade to a newer 4.1.x kernel from there, and still have everything work correctly.
Then come back everyone once in a while an try a standalone image. Which if you're unaware of the differences. A standalone image runs off an sdcard, instead of flashing the eMMC. These newer Jessie images seem to still have issues, but if you give Robert a little while, I'm sure he'll eventually get the problems ironed out.
