That's not a CentOS kernel, it's an openvz kernel that is not provided by CentOS. The fixes and workarounds shown on the internet will not work with that kernel.
I suggest you find a better VPS provider, what you have is essentially a glorified chroot, not a real VPS and there are many aspects of CentOS that are simply broken in that model.

Right, and in a Plesk environment there is only one kernel on the main machine, and all the VPS machines use it. So the hosting provider has to make all kernel mods.
