Have you tried installing and running the MinimServer Linux ARM hard-float download on the Gen 2? You would also need to install the ARM 32-bit hard-float version of Java. What happens if you do this?

Actually I haven't even opened up my new drive. I'll take the plunge one of these days and report back!

Tried it no go. Then I remembered that Gen2 doesn't run Debian. It runs Busybox/some kind of Busybox. So no go.

But the hardware is pretty cool, and a talented individual from another forum has made it easy to replace the busybox crap with Debian.

I'm off to installing Debian (or actually OpenMediaVault) instead of this crappy busybox.

Edit: seems he changed pagesize to 64kb here too, so incompatible with java atm..
Edit2: Seems the pagesize doesn't matter in this case, it uses standard Debian repos and everything seems fine.
