I found a Roll-Back Fix from the archives which stated to do the following

cd /tmp
wget
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq550/RPMS/kernel-2.4.16C12_V-1.i386.rpm
wget
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq550/RPMS/kernel-headers-2.4.16C12_V-1.i386.rpm
wget
ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq550/RPMS/bwmgmt-1.0.0_2.4.16C12_V-1.i386.rpm
rpm --install --force kernel-2.4.16C12_V-1.i386.rpm
rpm --install --force kernel-headers-2.4.16C12_V-1.i386.rpm
rpm --install --force bwmgmt-1.0.0_2.4.16C12_V-1.i386.rpm
/sbin/reboot

I did all these except that I rebooted from the GUI instead of running
/sbin/reboot .  

After reboot, the system started resynchronizing from 0% again.  I waited and it
finally finished.  Before the roll-back, it was rebooting when it got around
90%.  I added the rest of the updates that were available from bluelinQ and it
seems to be running fine now.  I will let the group know if I have any problems.
