The eidolon rules have been completely revised for the unchained
summoner, besides the base form of which there are now three (biped,
quadruped, and serpentine), there are now also 12 subtypes, each with
individual abilities, based on the outsider types agathion, angel,
archon, azata, daemon, demon, devil, div, elemental, inevitable,
protean, and psychopomp. The level table has also changed, as have
various evolutions. So I imagine the whole system must be set up new.

Indeed, if you have a summoner that you played for at least two levels,
you are allowed to keep it as is, and level up in the original class.
All newly created summoners, however, must be the unchained version.

OK, then I will try and take a look at it

The problem was not with the rogue but occured on the barbarian. I think
it was that Extra Rage didn't work as expected and conflicted with
something other. Also adding SERVESAS to the unchained class, so it
qualifies for archetypes (which use PRECLASS) then results in being
unable to take more levels, because I added a !PRECLASS because you
cannot have levels in both versions. Tricky to find a workaround for that.
