also failed, I just can't quote machine names at you right now, but

I didn't check every GX150, but I believe that we sa a 100% failure
rate for GX150s that attempted to take the update (not everythign had
finished its desync interval by the time we noteiced the problem) and
a 0% failure rate on GX1s and GX110s, due to this problem.
