systemd quit working when one of my OpenVZ machines upgraded from CentOS
7.1 to 7.2. I tried re-installing, and it did the same then when
upgrading to 7.2. That machine is running kernel 2.6.32-042stab093.5
It's now working fine with CentOS 6.
I have CentOS 7.2 working fine on OpenVZ with kernels
2.6.32-042stab108.8 and 2.6.32-042stab111.12.
I also have a machine with 2.6.32-042stab094.8, and I don't know if that
works or not, but 2.6.32-042stab112.15 should be fine (at least until
the next update).
