<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Narcis,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> Looks like our attempts to dissuade you didn't work. 😂 I'm not sure why you needed to use Debian 9. Yes, you were able to do it, but now you have a few potential issues to keep in mind:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Take a look here:. <br><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/45frah/remove_systemd_how/">https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/45frah/remove_systemd_how/</a></div><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto">Keep in mind, that was written over a year ago. Systemd is now much deeper ingrained.</div><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto">Second, any system tools or programs that rely on kernel version 4.x will now break. Most likely these would be firewall related. So, any kernel 4.x dependencies might now be broken. You can check what those are by listening the dependencies for the 4.x kernel.

The only barrier in Debian 8 is systemd, and the only additional barrier<br>
in Debian 9 is default Ext4 feature "64bit".<br>
<br>
Following the initrd/mount message, I applied a comment from StalkR:<br>
upgrading from Debian 8.<br>
I've installed a clean Debain 8 (with Ext4), upgraded to Debian 9, and<br>
then OpenVZ 6 installs and works (without compiling anything).<br>
