Programming experience , preferably C or C++ - Since systems programming is harder than conventional programming, it's assumed that if you want to write an operating system, you have at least some programming experience. Hopefully, you know either C or C++ fairly well. You should know pointers, structs and the basic data types, control loops, and the preprocessor well, but don't worry about the standard libraries, ANSI or otherwise, since those are essentially irrelevent in systems programming (you'll most likely have to write these yourself in the later stages).
