Do an "equery depends pambase" and see what it's trying to pull
pambase with consolekit. Perhaps do you have something in
/etc/portage/package.use?

Cool.

Actually it does; if you are not using plymouth (or another splash),
the standard listing of services gets printed on the console, with
even the "[ OK ]" that a lot of people like. A copy of this output
gets logged in /var/log/boot.log.

Also, you can boot with systemd.log_target=kmsg
systemd.log_level=debug, and everything (which is a lot) will get
stored in the kernel ring buffer, so you can check it out afterwards
with dmesg.

The thing with this output is that, when properly configured, systemd
is just too fast for it to be useful; my laptop boots so fast that I
cannot even see it even if I disable plymouth.

Regards.
