I don't know what happens nowadays if systemd isn't running. Originally it would be a dbus failure, but anyway, first check:

Code:
$ ps xa|grep "  1 "
    1 ?        Ss     0:01 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd


If not, you'll need to make sure that your bootloader specifies init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd in the kernel command line.

The next step would to be ensure your kernel contains all the systemd necessary options, which should be automatic if you're using gentoo-sources and specify systemd in the Gentoo-specific options at the top of the list.

Take a look at the systemd guide in the Bootloader section.

You'll need to edit your bootloader. If you're using grub2 you could manually add it, or you could edit /etc/default/grub and uncomment the line:

Code:
# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"

and regenerate your grub.cfg.
