I've never seen the sysv error before.
Odd others have got the new method working already.
You need to use sudo for systemctl and journalctl. Can you redo and share?

check the output of these command

systemctl status ethercat.service
sudo journalctl -xeu ethercat.service --no-pager
dkms status | grep -i ethercat        # module built for running kernel?
uname -r                              # running kernel matches?
lsmod | grep ec_                     # loaded?
sudo modprobe ec_master              # manual load - shows real error

Is your /etc/ethercat.conf properly set?
