Failed command 'lxc-start -n X' failed: exit code 1

[Shotgun Teddy]

Specs:
-Linux 4.4.6-1-pve x86_64 GNU/Linux
-Debian 8.9

Created a Debian 9.0-standard_9.0-2_amd64.tar.gz; booted just fine logged into via pct command.
Configured it as a mail server running dovecot and postfix. I had to reboot it in order to get some other configurations to apply properly.

After rebooting it it continues to fail starting. I believe this is a bug but don't know where to properly report/post it.
Here is the error-log:

Do you use the non-subscription repo? Seems like an old kernel, and if you never updated, then it makes sense.
