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). E.
