Every time when I boot my system, rsyslog is not started. I can start it by hand by running /etc/init.d/rsyslog. I have SPEEDBOOT=no in /etc/sysconfig/speedboot. systemctl -a output after boot: UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION proc-sys...misc.automount loaded active waiting Arbitrary Executable File Formats

Do you have logs from Boot ? /var/log/dmesg and do you see error on boot for rsyslog ?
CC: (none) => dmorganec
/var/log/dmesg only contains kernel log from boot, so it's useless. Seems like all logs are available from the dmesg command (which is also supposed to be prevented by the ExecStartPre command in /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service), but it does not contain the word "syslog". Also note that there is no rsyslog.service in the systemctl --all output above, unlike on a Mandriva system where rsyslog is working fine. systemd simply ignores rsyslog.service, so the bug is probably in systemd.
i am looking this bugreport
Please test next rsyslog rpm
rsyslog works for me with: rsyslog-5.8.5-3.mga2 But I had to manually do: systemctl enable rsyslog.service before the reboot
CC: (none) => tmb
closing i added a trigger to handle the update
