+A couple things I noticed:
+
+- system time is bad, looks like ntpd is not started
+- sshd is not started neither
+- DM service is duplicated, one is dm.service and other prefdm.service
+  (latest is systemd native one).
+
+I have enabled ntpd.service and sshd.service via systemctl, even if
+they are enabled in chkconfig. See how it goes.
+
+Don't know if there are more cases.
+Something weird with sysvinit backwards support ? Is it disabled ?
+If there is a native service, sysvinit service is ignored ?
+(sorry for my ignorance if this should be a known thing...)
+
+I really think that trying to support old style is messy if we finally
+switch to systemd. Perhaps you can (wrongly) trust chkconfig and it
+does nothing.
