Real happy with the mintbox mini 2 pro. It has some issues however that I would like to see fixed. If power is completely removed. It boots and runs fine Linux mint cinnamon Tara. If I shut down using menu options, any combination, or use shutdown now in terminal and let it sit for some time, more than an hour. It will not boot. If I wait for two and a half minutes of blank screen a30 second grub screen comes up an counts down. Then blank screen for another couple of minutes. It looks like it is going to boot, shows a low res mint logo. Blank screen... BusyBox error. I crack my knuckles and type help. No echo, no response. Then some error as posted in the subject line. I have a picture if you'd like that.

Something about jiffies.
Please let me know if there is some thing I can do to get this thing to boot normally after a software shutdown command OR if i should just hold the power button and remove all power everytime because that is the only way it will boot when I push the power button again.

You might want to re-post this in the fitlet2 forums, as the CPU is Intel. The fitlet1 series are AMD CPUs...
