well, i'm running 3.18.62-vs2.3.7.5 with a jessie guest, so it's not
the kernel.

do you have systemd installed in the guest (which is the default for
jessie)?

if so, then you need to either:
* reinstall jessie without systemd. see [1].
* install sysv / uninstall systemd. see [2].

[1] http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive?mss:6948:201505:jhgepajnchgkbplaigli
[2] http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_a_Debian_jessie/sid_installation

i have jessie installed in a guest and the initial installation
included systemd and didn't work, but i don't remember what the error
message was (ie compared to yours) nor do i remember how i accessed
the guest to install sysv / uninstall systemd (eg chroot), but i did
and it works.
