OK, I went through this and was doing a lot of stuff all at the same time (not the best way to do it but sometimes you just gotta leap, besides the dev systems weren't dying so I figured I was somewhat safe).
I put on RSU 5407 (1002) and also noted VM64798, VM64879, VM64774, UV61111(EREP) as being significant to z196.

You are 6.1 so maybe it is different. But if not, I better find out fast.
