James and I looked a bit into the systemd issue last night & discovered the same. This was discussed at http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2014-May/048180.html
A solution to solve this may be tricky. Currently no one may be available to look into getting newer Linux kernels working on XOs. And if a newer kernel was tweaked for XOs and brought in, extensive testing against multiple XO models & variants (wireless cards/cameras/memory chips/etc.) would be required. Bringing in an older systemd with userspace firmware loading support might be easier in the short term, but could break RPMs dependent on newer systemd versions. I don't know what resources OLPC has internally at the moment, but this may be beyond what part-time volunteers can do, especially if support is desired for XO models which OLPC no longer sells.
