USB3 enough to power 2,5 external HDD?

huh. Interesting So, from what you write, it does appear to be a power issue. I am not the most competent person to help determine why this is happening, so I suggest joining the chat and asking.

As for installing mainline here is the kenrel: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-m...l/releases

Just download, dpkg -i, and reboot.

With mainline kernel + stable ayufan stretch, none of the USB port work. On mrfixit's I cant install the mainline kernel because it says the architecture is different.

I'm beginning to think the power supply does not provide a stable output of 5V 3A. I ordered a multimeter to run some tests... Let's see then.
