Yeah, that's what happens when it doesn't find the drive(s). It just shows the no hard disk drives found message, indicates X's in the eyes of the Linux penguin, and stays on. It doesn't power down on its own.[...]I have never thought this was abnormal.
IMHO, it's abnormal. If it starts up with the ignition sense, I expect it to shut down (or drop into standby) on loss of ignition sense, regardless of error state. It's just symmetry. If it can't do standby, because that requires the player app, then I'd expect it to do the next-closest thing, which is power down completely.
What called my attention to it, was that I'd made a short trip, and didn't realize that it had powered into the error state. When I came out the next morning, it was still powered on. Thankfully, it didn't kill my battery, but still not happy.
