Joseph, I downloaded and installed 

linux-headers-3.17.0-031700rc6-generic_3.17.0-031700rc6.201409211935_amd64.deb
[3]

linux-headers-3.17.0-031700rc6_3.17.0-031700rc6.201409211935_all.deb [4]


linux-image-3.17.0-031700rc6-generic_3.17.0-031700rc6.201409211935_amd64.deb
[5] 

The dkms nvidia-311 would not properly rebuild so I rebooted into the
3.17 recovery mode, enabled networking and dropped to a root shell. All
my filesystems mounted properly and I was able to access/modify cifs
filesystems as well. 

Hope that helps!
