Again, that is what I get from SSH:

This 'Illegal instruction' message means that you have the wrong version of Java installed. The correct version is

ARMv5 Linux - Headless EABI, SoftFP, Little Endian

as stated in the MinimServer QNAP installation instructions.

Sorry, yes stupid.
Thank you, that is a donation worth.

Yes, you were right. However, I think this incorrect message about x86 will still appear after Ulrich installs the right version.

[ulrichoskar]

Yes, The Server is running, but the message is still there.

Have you deleted the x86 package, then rebootetd the NAS and then installed the Java ARM version manually?

It won't make any difference. This is a combination of a design fault in the QNAP firmware and a poor choice of package name for the unofficial JRE installer QPKG.

In more (gory) detail:

QNAP publishes an official QPKG named 'JRE'. This is for x86 only, and the description of the 'JRE' package in the QNAP official QPKG repository warns people about this.

The unofficial JRE installer QPKG (for ARM, etc.) is also named 'JRE'. (A very poor choice.)

The QPKG Center in the QNAP firmware displays a description for any QPKG whose name exists in the QNAP official QPKG repository. This decription is downloaded from the QNAP official QPKG repository. For any QPKG whose name doesn't exist in the QNAP official QPKG repository, no description is displayed. There is no way to change this behaviour.

Combining the above three points produces the problem we're seeing here. Because the unofficial QPKG is called 'JRE', the QNAP firmware incorrectly displays the description from the official QPKG that is also called 'JRE'.
