Yes, v45(?) power kernel is supposed to support h-e-n. The most recent h-e-n pkg itself should come without any kernel now (just the GUI), and - as mentioned in a previous post - h-e-n doesn't plan to ship any dedicated hostmode kernels anymore, and recommends using power kernel instead.
The GUI will check if a compatible kernel is installed, and will notify to user if problems are detected (with hostmode support in whatever is the currently installed kernel).
Of course a mere update of h-e-n pkg won't magically switch from h-e-n hostmode kernel to power kernel. You have to care for that yourself.
I hope Mohammad will edit post #1 occasionally, to represent the most current details and recommendations.

ps: Thanks for throttling the frequency of noisy reports :-) As a rule of thumb, this thread is about problems (and unexpected success) to provide 5V VBUS and to
enable hostmode
. As soon as your device is showing up in dmesg as "
usb 1-1:
New USB device found
, idVendor=xxxx, idProduct=yyyy...
", h-e-n considers this as
mission accomplished
.
Everything beyond are derived issues not directly related to h-e-n, so please report them either in the
problems-thread
, or on the forum of the involved subsystems which actually throw the error. Esp
mounting
, though still supported by a button in h-e-n, is
NO topic for this thread
