[SOLVED] Error binding socket

There are a couple error messages appear recently on booting.

Error binding socket; addr='AF_UNIX(/run/systemd/journal/syslog)', error='No such file or directory (2)'
Error initializing source driver; source='src', id='src#0'
Error initializing message pipelne;

I don't know enough about systemd to try fixing it. Well, I did the obvious, creating the file by hand but it goes away the next time I start the machine.

Appreciate any help in advance

By the way, I should mention that the src section of my
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
file has been changed according to the systemd wiki and I have also run

# systemctl enable syslog-ng.service

Re: [SOLVED] Error binding socket

Sorry, it looks like I forgot to add

init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd

to the boot line.
Now the problem is fixed.
