I have successfully migrated a RHEL 6 based OS from Upstart to systemd,
using the RHEL6 «2.6.32» kernel.
I basically had to apply three patches to the RHEL6 kernel for systemd
to boot properly:
- the patch to move the cgroups hierarchy to /sys/fr/cgroup:
676db4af043014e852f67ba0349dae0071bd11f3
- the patch to have printk not mangle the syslog prefixes (this one is
optional):
9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054
- the patch to add the 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console:
fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
You can find those changesets in the linux-2.6 git tree, only the third
one took a bit of work to rebase.
After building an otherwise «vanilla» RHEL6 kernel with those three
patches applied, everything seems to work perfectly fine with systemd 32
(although I have to admit I haven't really tested the more recent parts
such as the logind or hostnamed stuff).
