It's not a total loss =/
I went back to 3.0r2 Woody and did this to "trick" it:
With nothing other than the basic bootable system; perform these steps
-- more or less in order -
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
... manually edited /etc/apt/sources.list "deb resources" to point to
testing instead of main.
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
... rebooted to make sure of any start-up errors...
Now I'm at 3.1 and researching upgrading the kernel from 2.14.27(?) to
2.6.8(?)
Wish me luck =)

PS - I like Debian because it supports the three
systems I have: PowerPC, Ultrasparc, and Intel ... but
During my research I ran across Gentoo which also
supports them -- I want to see which is
(fill-in-the-blank.)
