OK, looks like it is running as init with pid 1.
But it seems that it isn't really working. From syslog I get:

Feb 11 09:05:54 cob systemd[1]: Looping too fast. Throttling execution a little.
Feb 11 09:05:56 cob systemd[1]: Looping too fast. Throttling execution a little.

Feb 11 09:06:10 cob systemd[1]: Looping too fast. Throttling execution a little.

ps shows me it is really consuming much cpu:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root         1 23.8  0.5  55636 23260 ?        Ss   Feb10 333:33 /sbin/init

Any idea how to further debug this?
