I can't see systemd unit file in this link, but I created 
/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service file from diff file from this thread, 
which my modification. Content of this service file:

--- cut ---

[Unit]
Description=KDM Display Manager
Conflicts=getty at tty1.service
After=systemd-user-sessions.service getty at tty1.service plymouth-quit.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon
Restart=always
IgnoreSIGPIPE=no

[Install]
Alias=display-manager.service
WantedBy=multi-user.target

--- cut ---

After moving out /etc/init.d/kdm file and run "systemctl enable 
kdm.service" my PC boot to kdm well. Thank you for your hint ;-).
