With Linux-grsec, or linux-vanilla, I am unable to get CDROM opening or USB HD working, udisks2-> udisksctl states no udusd daemon found. Looks it pretty much restricts many things. Does linux-vaniall come with grsecurity, linux-grsec come with grsecurity and PaX.

Thanks

It's been a long time, but...
linux-grsec comes with the grsec patches (including pax); linux-vanilla is the unpatched upstream kernel (no pax/grsec).

hotplugging works here, but I don't use an automounter; I plug it in, then mount things manually. I don't think many people are using udisks2, though.

You might check whether the appropriate daemon is installed and started at boot; adding a new initscript does not necessarily enable it.
Look in /etc/init.d/ for the daemon (or check via rc-service -l or -r), use rc-update to check if it's started at boot, rc-update add <service> to enable it...
