I’m not 100% sure what you mean by enter the kernel. If you’re trying to actually modify the kernel, the Droplets provided by DigitalOcean do not allow for it (currently). The kernel that is deployed is the kernel that your Droplet must use.
If you’re having issues elsewhere, please clarify and I’ll be more than happy to help!
