Yeah it seems sysinit is starting rsyslog for you. So something in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is causing the rsyslog to start.

Yeah I suspect that as rsyslog is not in the right cgroup, systemd has
trouble finding it.

Nah I have the same stuff installed here so don't think it's that.

Here's a question... what does your /etc/sysconfig/speedboot say?

I've got SPEEDBOOT=no in there, perhaps try doing that as it affects how
the sysint stuff works.

Obviously we'll eventually strip out all the speedboot stuff as systemd
completely supercedes it, but this would be a good first step.

Cheers
