I don't think the OpenVZ Legacy kernel is supposed to work on Debian 8 nor Debian 9. Debian really isn't a good distro for an OpenVZ Legacy host node although Debian does have some history with OpenVZ. For a few releases they had an OpenVZ patched kernel in their stock repos... but there were a number of issues with it. Then OpenVZ Project provided kernel was shoehorned to work on a release or two of Debian... and I believe it worked fairly well. One of the problems, and maybe not the main problem, is that Debian 8 and 9 use systemd by default. systemd is great but the EL6 kernel (which the OpenVZ Legacy kernel is based on) came out in Nov. 2011 and was forked from Fedora 12. systemd made its debut a few releases of Fedora later and became default in Fedora 15. To the best of my knowledge, the OpenVZ Legacy kernel will not work on RHEL/CentOS 7 for similar reasons. What kernel is there for newer distros? Well, the OpenVZ 7 kernel works on EL7... but given the expansion of features in OpenVZ 7, they decided it was best to make their own distro (basically forked from CentOS 7) and don't really support running the OpenVZ Legacy kernel and userland programs on any other distro. Takeaways: If you want to run the OpenVZ Legacy kernel, run it on EL6 or older Debians than 8... or give OpenVZ 7 a try.
