systemd doesn't just 'create init files', I don't think. It *does* have
a concept of dependencies, which could account for this effect.

What services exactly are you talking about?

What desktop are you using? It'd be good if you could file the bug for
this, filing SELinux denials via sealert is pretty fast.

All 3.16 kernels before 3.16.0-0.rc2.git0.1 are just fundamentally
broken on i686, I think, unless you pass 'vdso=0'. I wouldn't bother
messing with anything unless you're using the rc2 kernel, or passing
vdso=0.
