There is no real switch back. Systemd grabbed libpam (login) which now is 
libpam-systemd, and is required by policy-kit, networkmanager, gdm, and finally 
just Gnome session, and also is required by udisks2 which k3b needs ... and so 
forth. You'll find something everywhere which finally pulls in systemd.  So it 
will be installed anyway. 
But you can revert to the sysv init system (reading the rc files) by installing 
systemd-shim and sysvinit packages, and add kernel commandline 
'init=/lib/sysvinit/init' (probably best in a separate menu entry added to 
/etc/grub.d/custom.cfg). 

At least this is how i understood things and it works for me.

If your problem is just only hardware issues then this is probably overkill and 
you should just try to track it down and file a bug.
