You need to update util-vserver to one of the .216_pre versions for your
new kernel. I don't remember which kernel version is the cut-of version.

It is due to change in setup of UTS namespace. (e.g. all guests and host
share the same UTS namespace if .215 util-vserver is being used with
recent kernel.
