Troubleshooting • Raspberry pi 5 and power notifications

I have a pi 5 for a file server. Running an enclosure with 4 HDD and an enclosure with 2 HDD. If I boot to the GUI it tells me my power supply can't supply 5A. I have the official 27W Raspberrypi power supply. I thought the drives (which are self powered) was pulling it down, so tried putting them on a powered hub. The pi would not boot. It would miss one of the drives and stop (Drives in fstab by uuid.) I believe the problem on a hub is timing. Just for grins, put back to normal and used a 65w power supply. and it also told me the power supply can't supply 5A, also tried another raspberrypi 5 power supply with the same result. Should I be worried?

Edit: Didn't do this with Bookworm. I just updated to Trixie last week.

Thanks,
Joe
